Help, my parents have my money!

[eerelations]

It's a big illegal mess and he doesn't want to "vouch" for you to your parents because he doesn't want them to get him into legal doo-doo. (His business may be legal but paying you cash under the table is not.)

I don’t have a work permit, didn’t know I needed one. They think that it’s not mine as if I stole it.

Ahh. So your parents were unaware you were working and the person who has been paying you refuses to acknowledge your employment. Probably because he was violating the law.

What sort of work were you doing?

 

[Anovak2018]

Quit your job. Go to the mall or wherever and get a JOB that pays you legally. Also get a checking or savings account. Also report the (STBX) employer for his tax fraud. This is the advice I would give to my children.

I no longer work there, so it is my understanding there is nothing I can do?!?!

Other than report your former employer?

No. There does not appear to be anything you can do to get the money back from your parents.

I agree with the advice offered you by Bambi.

Correct. (Well you could get your former employer in trouble with the IRS and the DOL, but they won't compel your parents to give you back the money you earned.)

How would I go about reporting

Here is a link to the Illinois Department of Labor: https://www.illinois.gov/idol/Laws-Rules/FLS/Pages/child-labor-law.aspx

You can call the contact number and/or you can scroll to the Child Labor Complaint Form.

Bambi's earlier advice is good advice to follow in the future.

The DOL and the IRS have websites - go there.

Will this in anyway get me in trouble?

No. Not if YOU were not doing anything illegal (e.g., selling drugs).
