<prompt> Human: I know that this means Im a contractor for tax purposes but i dont know if i have to keep records of how much i made each shift or something? Im not sure what a 1099 even looks like. The job is bartending, tip based, if that is important. Any advice would be appreciated.Sorry if this is an inappropriate sub idk what to put it underAssistant: This is your boss telling you he is not your boss any longer.Usually used to scam employees into accepting wages lower than minimum wage expressly for the purpose of screwing you over.Look for another job now, dont wait for December.Human: Well im still being paid minimum. She said that for every shift, if i dont make more tips than 7.85 an hour then she will write a check to make sure I am making at least minimum. She said that they dont qualify for w2 forms because she just bought this business in january.. so a couple months ago. Is that a total lie? Do businesses really not qualify for w2 bc that doesnt seem real  <response>: The w2 thing is absolutely a lie
