Two Employees are Being Paid Under One Employee's Name
My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Arizona
I am an on-site apartment manager and my boyfriend is maintenance. I work 20 hours and he works 30 hours a week. We get $400 a month to split. They are paying it all under my boyfriend's name and there is nothing under my name at all. I was wondering if this was legal or not? We have not signed any sort of contract or anything, plus we are not married. (Not sure if that makes a difference or not?)
Re: Being Paid Under Boyfriend's Name
Do they expect you to work 20 hours a week? Or do they expect your boyfriend to work 50 hours a week and you are just helping your boyfriend out? (Not that it makes any difference, both scenarios are illegal, just trying to figure out who the culprit is.)
Not signing a contract and not being married are not issues.
Re: Being Paid Under Boyfriend's Name
No I am the apartment manager and I work in the office. He is onsite maintenance. We both have our own set of responsibilities.
I had to have the office open from 9am to 1pm. And he worked 7am to 1pm, Mon-Fri on both.

Are you getting free rent as well? I am assuming that 400.00 a month is not your only compensation?
Re: Being Paid Under Boyfriend's Name
How is your boyfriend being paid? By cheque for the whole amount? Or via payroll, with deductions taken out?
Re: Being Paid Under Boyfriend's Name
Yes the rent is included as well. He is paid via direct deposit and deductions were taken out. Although the rent was not shown on the check anywhere. I do not know why people are so upset at me right now. I did not know that it was the same people on every one of these site. I was just trying to opinions on this. I do not understand why people are getting so upset. We are in a bad situation here and we are just trying to figure things out. I did not mean no harm.
Re: Being Paid Under Boyfriend's Name
Nobody is upset at you. Just calm down and help the folks responding help you by providing the information they need to help figure this out. It sounds like there is something wrong going on so answer their questions the best you can so they can give you the best answers they can.
some people post on multiple forums but not everyone does.
Re: Being Paid Under Boyfriend's Name
If you post on multiple sites, you will irritate people. And why you post on multiple sites, I cannot fathom - don't you know that the law is the same no matter what site you go to?
That said, your employer is paying you illegally. You both must be paid, separately. And the value of the rent must be shown on your paystubs - part of it on your paystubs and part of it on your BF's paystub.
Your legal recourse for this is to contact your state or federal DOL.
And no, before you start posting this all over the internet, the answer is going to be exactly the same everywhere. So don't bother, don't waste your time or anyone else's.
Re: Being Paid Under Boyfriend's Name
yes, I know the law is the law, no matter where you ask it. But I have gotten different answers as well. And I have posted on one site before and never got an answer. That is another reason I posted on more than one.
Re: Being Paid Under Boyfriend's Name
The answers may be different, but the one I gave you is the correct answer. You can either go with the correct answer or keep trawling for incorrect answers. Your choice. I'm outta here.
