<prompt> Human: I need help with thisPossible future employer wants to pay for my wages up to 25 hours - and any additional hours will be paid in cashIs this legal? Or recommended?I know about verifiable income and taxes, but is this normal or should I run away from it?  <response>: Is this legal?There is nothing that prohibits employers from paying wages in cash, as long as they are complying with all relevant state and federal wage and hour laws and tax laws. This employer is probably not complying with those laws.Or recommended?Absolutely notIs this normal?In a sense that its not uncommon for employers to try to evade taxes and pay less than minimum wage and overtime rates by paying cash under the table.should I run away from itYeah
