Since he didn't sign any employment papers, were there any taxes taken out?
Yes taxes were taken out. I talked to my boss about it. She said she will talk to the people that write my check. She doesn't know why the mistake happened and on file it says that I do make $7.55. Lets just hope this doesn't happen the next time I get paid. Thank you everyone!
