My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: Massachusetts
I receive mileage reimbursement from my employer, and she reimburses me for any expenses I incur. Last year she gave me a company credit card and told me to charge everything, including my gas, and she would deduct it from my mileage reimbursement at the end of the month.
When the first reimbursement was done, she listed it as a" loan to employee" on my paystub. I thought this was strange, I also felt strange about having my gas paid through the company credit card.
Mind you, my boss is not very approachable, usually "punishes" you someway for questioning her about things, so I've just let it go. the less I have to deal with it the better.
I went to have my taxes done and my accountant questioned it. He asked me for the reports, and I told him I never get any form my boss. Just an amount.
Is this illegal? The accountant thinks it may be listed as a loan, so that the employer can double dip on my expenses, where in reality I am paying for the gas out of my pay.
If I question my employer, she usually retaliates and takes away hours, or pays my paychecks late, which she does often, even though they are direct deposited.
Which brings me my second question, isn't it illegal to pay your employee late and just say I forgot, or I was on vacation? I am the only employee. She has done this for 4 years! I am sick if it.
I'll take any advice!
Thanks!
