In reply to Sarah. You're misclassified and should be an employee (W-2). Her accountant is not an employment law attorney and shouldn't be advising the owner on employment law issues. I recommend you read this post (if you haven't already), and this one.

If you follow the link above, you’ll see the PA laws regarding pay stubs. (They’re here: http://www.canmybossdothat.com/category.php?id=207&state=PA)
Per Pennsylvania Code 34 § 231.36, the statement has to show:

hours worked
wage rate
gross wages
any reductions (“allowances”) to the minimum wage
deductions
net wages (how much the check is for)
beginning and ending dates of the pay period

In Pa my boss also takes as much as much $10.00 for a color service for hair color/perms.The other salons I worked for did not deduct money off the top for hair color and every service we do,also deducts a couple dollars for haircuts even if client did not want a blow dry before my 50% commission/minimum wage 7.25 or what ever is greater I did not agree to that when I was hired I have been there a year and a half,agreed only to 50% for services I perform.The other problem I notice on my pay stub is that my hours are not there, my rate of pay for that week, beginning and ending dates, and gross earnings. I asked only about that and she said oh well you have to wait till I get my W-2 at the end of year. I am really upset that I only made a little over $7,000.I work 3-4 days a week. Please let me know if this is shady. I love your blog, it really is helpful. Thank you

The link to find out what states are required to provide detailed pay stubs is no longer available. The link is in the last paragraph. Here is the link…http://payroll.intuit.com/support/page_not_exists.jsp

Woah. Yeah, that is a lot of missing money. You should not be responsible for her poor business planning. If times are tough, she needs to figure it out, not punish you for it. You need to find out how much she owes you and take her to small claims court to get that money back. You absolutely do not deserve to be taken advantage of like that.

kid’s cuts, I usually get 4-5 kid’s cuts a day neither all the Military Discounted stuff, there were also foils that I wasn’t giving any commission for. I’ve been freaking out researching everything all week cause I want to bring it to her attention, cause she would have to go into the computer herself and change the cost of those services making it look like I didn’t make as much. I still have not gotten my March 1st pay stub either. Things just aren’t adding up to me I’ve been going through all these invoices and it seems since fall when we lost our employee who did make more money and the tour season died till next summer. I have a steady clientele but there are those days where you sit and do nothing, but my co-worker we hired in the fall does not. She takes mainly walk ins, therefore she is not making my bosses business money as me. So since then month by month there is more services changed and not even being paid for some stuff which starts to add up, I know winter in Alaska is rough but stealing is wrong and its really effecting my ability to want to work for her. I want to bring to her attention that I want to booth rent and she needs to start following the laws or I’m going to have to tell state boards as much as I don’t want to.. But this is the second time it’s happened and it’s time people go by the books or just don’t be a salon owner or hire someone who can do her books. I don’t know I feel like since she has already been robbing me dollar by dollar and wanting more that I don’t want to work in that environment, and put in my two weeks along with letting her know that I now know why my checks never added up to what I write in my book with all my services and tips and client…I’m going to talk to another salon owner here where I live tomorrow so I can get a second opinion… also Why would she take her portion daily from me on our daily printouts and then the remainder on every day I worked add them up why not wait till the pay period ends and do it as a sum, seeing how she does take a portion of my wages. I made over 1600.00 in services and some retail sales which I get 10% but when I got my check it was 751.00 just seems like a lot of money to take out of a bi-weekly pay period, and also still no pay stub to compare my services with what she has..unless she knows I’ve figured her out..

I really appreciate your advice cause I don’t have many people to talk to about this who get what I’m coming from.. So I asked my boss for a couple days off in the summer in June which is pretty busy in Alaska lots of cruise ships coming in on a daily basis, but my grandmother and father who I am very close with and haven’t seen since I was in beauty school living with them. I only asked for 2 days and she told me we would talk when she came in. I have not had any vacation days since my hire day, over a year and three months, my other new co-worker who we hired in September has already had two vacations no questions asked. When she came in to talk to me it was mainly her just wanting to know what one of my clients had said about another business owner who was actually my new bosses ex employee who now owns a business here as well and I worked for her before my current boss now, but quickly learned she doesn’t go by the books. I got out of there quick, same things happened with her as they are now.. but my boss also told me she is going to charge me for product because we were using a lot lately as well as foils… I didn’t understand because I thought that is what her 35% was for.. and she also ordered everything late so we ran out of stuff.. I just was taken by surprise because it was all just her telling me negative feedback. Didn’t even answer me about the two days off. I went into our computer and printed off my year and three months on services and retail sales, what I found was pretty shocking but it’s happened to me before. There was a lot of unpaid services and service amounts changed to military discount when there was a non military haircut giving her two dollars extra, changing other services to more
