His current employer is now trying to say he has only been a contractor for them, not a real employee which is bullshit. The oral agreement was employee and boyfriend has been required to work certain hours. Thats not how contractors work, they don't work for you for specific hours, they show up when there is a job, do it, get paid, and leave.

BF's employer is going to be in deep shit if he hasn't been paying tax on BF's wages. Very, very deep shit. The IRS and state tax authority will crawl up boss's hinder with a microscope and make him prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that BF is a subcontractor. look up the IRS definition or your state's definition of subcontractor. If BF doesn't satisfy the definition then boss is well and truly fucked. I know a number of businesses here in New York that have had no end of problems due to this.
