Ladies, I need serious advice,
The club I'm at up in Michigan takes about 1/3-1/2 ($7 of a $20 dance) of our dance money a night. They keep track of every dance we do during the night and at payout, the take a percentage of it along with a base rent fee ($5). Problems being;
A) I get overmarked by an average of one dance a week. These charges for non-existant dances do not get removed by the manager at the end of the night. Appx. $7 per week = $13 a week I pay tax on that I did not make. That's over $600 a year.
B) The first year I was employed there they charged me a $30 base rent as opposed to the normal $5 because I choose to work only three days a week instead of the required four. I discovered this year when I went to find an accountant that they had marked this additional base rent as $5 base rent and 5 $5 dances (=$30). Not good. This turns a majority of my work expense into taxable income. My managers have not replied to my requests for a letter correcting the information to take to my accountant.
I'm going to get stuck paying taxes on, get this...almost $10,000 that I did not make!!! Plus all the late fees since this was all from last year!! Should I suck it up and pay, or find an attourney? I love my club and love working there, but this is absurd!
