I worked for a company A...which contracted me out to B and to C and to D...finally working at company F.(trust me ... a lot of indian companies do that). After working for 7 months at company F, I joined company F as a full time employee. My old company A now refuses to pay me my wages for the 7th month and they did not send my W2. They are not disclosing if they have sent the W2 to irs or not. Will I get into any trouble if I don\'t pay my taxes to the IRS. I didn\'t get my paycheck and I didn\'t get my W2. Also the company A is threatening to counter sue me if I take any legal action against them. Their reasons are that I breached the employment agreement and stealing their contract. The employment is a no brainer...it just states that I stay with the company for atleast 6 months(which I did) and not take up a job at any of their client companies. ( not sure if A->B->C->D->E->F will make F a client of A).

Thanks in advance for any kind of help on this matter

Tell the employer that they have 5 days to send the W-2 or you will report them and retain an attorn

Then do it if they don\'t do as demanded (this is not a request, it is illegal to do this and the company knows it). You must pay your taxes.

Pay the taxes and get paid

\'A\' should compensate you for the 7th month. Send them a legal sounding letter or get an attorney to draft one. Just the letter should do since \'A\' is on weak ground. They could have problems with INS, IRS and Wage/ Labor Board.

Report the income for the 6 months and pay taxes. State taxes may have to be paid too. 7th month pay, if received in 2002, will be reported next year. Don\'t forget to pay taxes!

Contract may not apply in this case since the end client is several tiers away and is not a client of \'A\'. Unless of course the contract covers this. However they are in bigger trouble than you so get the 7th month pay.
