<prompt> Human: So I think Im being scammed. Im from California and I started this full time new job and my boss is paying me salary. Before she hired me she said she was going to pay me 1600 for the first month, 800 biweekly as training without completing my W4 so I wouldnt get taxed. Then we agreed that she would pay me 1900 a month after the training period. So today was payday following that training month. She went over how Im getting paid at the end of the day when she gave me my check. She said that because she liked how I was adapting she was actually going to get paid 2000 a month instead of 1900. She said she was paying me the minimum I could get paid through check, 800, so I wouldnt get taxed so much and the rest cash, 200.Out of the 800 after taxes was just about 670. Then she said she would pay me the rest,200 cash. During this pay period I took one day off for my birthday so she deducted 80 from the cash she was supposed to pay me and gave me 120. So in total I got paid 790, less than what I originally got paid during my training month.I regularly stay thirty minutes to an hour passing my 8.5 hour work days to finish up all of my work. She doesnt make me but I fell obligated to not leave things half done. And I mentioned this to her when she said she deducted my pay for missing that one day. She then responded by saying that she was actually only going to pay me 1900 a month and she actually raised. Kind of making it seem like she was already doing me a favor. On top of this I regularly run errands around the area 10-15 minutes away from our location and dont get reimbursed. I never felt the need to ask for gas money because it is not that far. But getting paid this little and using my gas to run errands does not seem worth it now.I want to go over how Im getting paid tomorrow and need some advice on what to say.  <response>: So the biggest red flag for me is the fact that she split up the pay between check and cash. Thats not exactly legal to do. If she, or you, got audited on taxes, she, or you, would get charged with tax evasion. Not sure if thats a big concern of yours, but it would be for me.
