Not going to mention their name, but a person I know was hired back today, after being laid off yesterday due to obamacare, with the stipulation he/she would be payed under the table and he/she couldn't talk about it to anyone(Ok, so he/she broke that part but they couldn't wait to tell me about it). This is probably going to happen all over the country. Instead of going out of business small businesses will lay people off and rehire them under the table.

This does two things, denies the feds their taxes, denies them the health care taxes and allows the under the table employees to qualify for welfare. Dirty pool? I don't think so, I think it is called survival.

Oops, post #44, payed = paid. Sorry about that.

This idea will certainly make the unemployment numbers skyrocket ;)

And the small business she “contracts” for will save money. It can deduct her pay as an “expense” but not have to pay into the SS pool. I would reccommend this business pay this person $1,199 then sign a new contract under a new name. And do this until the end of the year.
