Does an employee have to report you working for them? -

I work for someone answering the phone, basically i sit there in case someone comes in while he is gone doing a job. I am paid cash but was wondering if there is away around this. He is concerned that he can get in trouble and I need the money......Someone said he had to pay out a certain amount before having to report it......Any input??

In the US the limit is $600 or so.A payroll service will process payroll for really small companies and avoid all the fuss and possible fines he/you may be looking at.
