My question involves employment and labor law (wage & hour) for the state of California where this person is an undocumented immigrant, and had been working using someone elses social security number.
He was denied his meal and rest breaks, and brought a lawsuit which then settled. As part of the settlement, he had to provide his w-4 and w-9 information to the defendant before they gave him wages.
He, submitted a w-4 and w-9 form in which the social security number did not match what the defendants had on file. At this time, plaintiff's counsel became aware that client was undocumented.
How should plaintiff's counsel proceed forth? The client has neither a valid social security number nor tax id; similar to the social security number, the tax id the client uses also belongs to someone else.
I would appreciate any help on this question.
Thanks!
