Quick background on my situation in Tennessee — any input appreciated.

piercing the corporate veil concern. I've been dealing with this for about 9 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but the other party is not cooperating.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

NAL, but from what I've read apparently, you should send a written demand. Of course teh details matter a lot here just saying.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Yeah have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

Idk but nAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. Standard disclaimer: talk to an actual attorney for your case.

A lot of people mess up by is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

In my case which sucks, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager imo.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

If you're thinking about an S-Corp election, run the numbers first. It only makes sense once your net income is above ~$40-50k. Below that, the payroll costs eat up any tax savings.
