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.

Ooooh! That is good to know. Can we tip off the IRS on this? The guy hasn't been taking taxes out of Boyfriend's paycheck, so I don't if he's been paying taxes on the wages. Which would be really hilarious because the co-owner is a CPA who works with taxes. This whole thing has just become ridiculous, Boyfriend is going to quit today probably and hopefully his new job will come in by mid week next week. He'll make good money there to make up for it (we know because he's worked there before), and I'm not upset about him quitting early, he already has a new job just can't start right away.
