What happens if you work for the same company for more than 25 employees?
Employees work with each other, both companies share the same admin, sales and HR departments and managers. The overtime is not an issue, but because it’s a “small business” under 25-employees, they can pay a lower hourly wage than if they were an over 25-employer. Currently it’s $1.00 per hour lower.
How are you taxed if you work for two employers?
