Question
I have been employed at a daycare called Happy Home in Devine TX. since November of 2007 and have never received a check stub i am worried that no taxes are being taken out and when i ask the answer is always i will get you a stub but still have not.then on my current tax w2 i had made almost 800 dollars and yet on federal tax withheld the amount was 0 can you help me with this problem is this legal.
First of all did you fill out a W-4 when you started working and if so what deductions did you put on the W-4 form. Were you paid weekly, biweekly, semi monthly or monthly?
Second in the State of Texas the pay stub is required and the required items on the pay stub are:
Employee's name, pay rate, gross and net earnings, amount and purpose of deduction, hours worked. You should have a pay stub for every payday with every pay check.
I would ask to see my W-4 and what my deductions were that I claimed. I you have claimed the right amount of deductions to have tax withheld, than I would ask why it was not withheld. If you filled out the W-4 incorrectly than you need to fill out a new one and fill it out correctly.
If the company will not give you a check stub I would contact my local department of labor and talk to them about it.
You can find your State of Texas at the following website. Just click on Texas.

Expertise
I can answer questions about payroll laws and payroll tax laws and Human Resource laws and agencies. I can answer federal payroll and human resource law questions and most states; I do not have a knowledge of the local taxes for cities and counties within the state. If and when I can I will try and send you the website where you can reference the answer and where you can obtain more information as well as a contact number if needed for that particular agency. Some agencies I have worked with are IRS, Department of Labor (federal and state), Revenue Canada (and provincial governments), Inland Revenue, OSHA (0ccupational Safety and Health Administration); Social Security Administration and National Child Support as well as other agencies in Payroll and Human Resources. Some Laws I am particularly familiar with are FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act), ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act), FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act ) , QDRO's, QMCSO's, and other support orders and garnishments, USERRA (Uniformed Services Employment and Remployment Rights Act,PPA Act (Pension Protection Act of 2006, As well as most other employment type acts. I am also well versed in the Title V Civil Rights Act and the HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).
