  Land of the free and all that. Free from paid healthcare, a decent public education, a strong voice in government, an impartial justice system, employee rights… With all this freedom, it’s hard to imagine wanting to be anywhere else.

    Freedom to treat your employees however you want!

  So if the employer suddenly decides to e.g. start paying you less, how do you prove how much your pay should be?

    Previous pay stubs I suppose. Depending on the employer you may have something in writing. This typically wouldn’t be contract if you’re an employee without a union.

    Someone does some digging and figures it out, and maybe five or so years later you get a check in the mail for an amount the lawyers agreed was correct.

    There is nearly always a contract and the business will submit tax paperwork with your compensation to the IRS.

    Under the table workers are illegal and on their own

      still not a contract, that’s just taxes.

  I’m an American and I’ve always had a contract. Even in retail. Of course the contracts are all bullshit and just a waiver of my rights.

    an employment offer letter is not a contract.
