<human>: Edit: location United States, Ohio

I work part time for a local pizzeria as a delivery driver.  I am paid below the federal minimum wage, but with tips and delivery fees make over it.

My employer pays me every 2 weeks, half in cash, half by check.

On my check my hours are calculated as though I make minimum wage.

Example with simplified math:  

I make $5/hr and work 40 hours over 14 days.  I'll receive an envelope of $100, and a check for $100 minus taxes.  The check though will say 12.5 hours @ $8/hr, not the actual 20 hours @ $5/hr that I am paid.

I have asked about this but he claims that he's doing it for my benefit.

This cannot be legal, right?  I'm worried that if I don't claim those untaxed wages and tips at the end of the year that I'll be guilty of tax fraud, but what is the employers responsibility in this?

I'll answer any questions if what I'm saying doesn't make perfect sense.  What I really want to know is, who can I turn to for assistance?  The last thing I need is a huge tax bill at the end of the year with no recourse.

<bot>: Paid half cash, half check.  Employer lying on check about hours worked and hourly wage but total is correct.
