Ok, I have an issue. Our club pays 2.13 an hour to dancers (required by law) and then claims that we make 3.12 cents an hour or whatever adds up to minimum wage in tips and taxes us on that. I THOUGHT that I was gonna be ok claiming my tips there, as we can enter our tips in our time clock at the end of the night. Problem is, the club doesn't necessarily report what WE reported on our paycheck.
Example, I claimed approx 600 this pay period in tips, possibly more (have to check records) and my paycheck shows that I claimed 200. My answer from management? "I don't know why you claim them anyway, it's not like you're gonna get audited)
Lovely. So. What do I need to do at the end of the year to claim my additional earnings, since I can't depend on my club to do it correctly? Since I'm technically an employee, I'm guessing I can't claim independent contractor or anything. Please help!
(Oh, and I know what my club is doing is illegal, but unfortunately, there's not much I can do about that without getting fired. I just need to find a way to make sure that I'm not doing illegal crap.)
