<prompt> Human: I live in Los Angeles, CA. Basically Ive worked for this guy off and on for about 4 years. At the beginning of 2016 I became his only full-time employee because he needed one due to being in trouble with the IRS a bunch of stuff Im not too privy on. Anyways, he promised me the sun and the moon health insurance that never came, a raise I had to fucking insist on months after the intended delivery, etc which was all BS. And supposedly I was an employee, so he had been taking 30 out of every check I dont even know what this number is, if its totally arbitrary or what? He never showed me any kind of actual numbers. Lo and behold, eventually he informs me that he would be giving me a 1099, and had not actually paid any of my employee taxes, he just withheld thousands of dollars. He owes me a personal debt of 900 which is down from 1,700... took him a year to just give me a few hundred here and there and I owe the government about 2,500 which he insists he will pay, but its been forever, and the fees keep racking up. He said he will pay it by the end of this year, but Im starting to get scared hes going to fuck me in some way or another. What is my recourse here? Getting real anxious.Theres a revolving door of coworkers who have had money disputes with him, and I know he owes clients thousands and thousands of dollars. He even did some downright illegal shit with one of my illegal coworkers from Spain, and didnt pay him for tons of hours. I always knew he wasnt the best with money and chalked my delay of action up to pity, but I actually dont like him as a person anymore due to everything Ive seen from him.  <response>: rlegaladvice
