Granite, marble, etc. After our water event, the plumbers broke the granite around the sink (thankfully) & we went to PS & got an upgraded/updated granite countertop.

No severance, no pension, no nothing. He was fortunate his wife was also close to retirement and with a good job and pension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife went to the fancy dress shop she worked at & there was an IRS notice on the glass & a chain & padlock on the door. That's what happens when the business doesn't pay payroll taxes.

a bunch of numbers Posted January 21, 2020 Share #10 Posted January 21, 2020 Sounds like what Falcon trucking did to their employees after GM left the area. Told the guys who were out on the road to park the truck and find your own way home. https://www.ttnews.com/articles/falcon-transport-closes-suddenly-laying-about-550-employees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd cheat on my income taxes before Payroll taxes (allegedly) That is the main reason we have used a Payroll service for years. They just tell me how much and I make sure we have that much. Any question and i fwd to payroll service 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
