<prompt> Human: A few weeks ago a started this job with better pay than where I was at. They had me do training out of town and I was going to do paperwork when I got back, but when I did they had me out working as soon as I got back. I got my first check and realized it wasnt a real check. It was just a bank check that you take to another bank and they had calculated taxes so I dont think it was the government that took out taxes. Then I realized I never filled out a 1099, w4, i9, nothing. This week now Im not getting anything and I wont have the money to pay my rent. Am I just SOL or is there something I can do? Thanks everyone.Edit: taxes are not taken by government, but the company thrmselves. Got it. Sorry everyone, kind of new to this.Edit 2: TIL a lot of things. It seems like I am getting real checks, just not the ones Im used to seeing in my retail job. Thank you all. Assistant: I got my first check and realized it wasnt a real check. It was just a bank check that you take to another bank How was this not a real cheque?Human: Normally when you get a check it will be a full 9×13 ish piece of paper eith your total hours worked that week and year with how much federal, state, local, etc taxes are taken out and at the bottom is the check that you can go take to the bank. I dont receive any of that. Just a flimsy bank note with a routing number and account number of the guys bank. He says thats just how this business works.  <response>: So youre saying you didnt get a pay stub. That doesnt mean the check is fake.
