<human>: The company I have been working for for the past 8 months has been doing very sketchy stuff. I know I need to get out of the situation, but I fear if I leave I will never see my money. This is the only reason I am still working for them.

Here's a small list of some of the things they do: 

* Not paying employees for weeks at a time

* Having me pay taxes and then not issuing me a w4 and claiming they will reimburse me for the taxes I payed and it will be like I was payed under the table the whole time.

* The last checks they gave out they told all the employees to go to a check cashing place, not our banks, because the checks will bounce, but this way we still get money.

* They knowingly working illegal immigrants.

* They knowingly give out bad checks to purchase things.

They are so bad with money I have to pay for gas when I drive the company truck and they reimburse me sometimes as far as 2 months later. I am fed up with it. As of right now they owe me ~$3000 from paychecks, ~$1500 in the taxes and ~$500 in gas money. It is to the point where the only reason I eat is because I have befriended a food cart and the owner fronts me the food and I pay them when I get paid.

I can get them to say out loud that they haven't payed me or the other employees. I am thinking of recording it so I can press charges. What things do I need to get them to admit to so that I can press charges? Will having my time cards they haven't collected help? Will statements from other employees help? I'm really at a loss here and would appreciate any help you can give!

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: It's looking like I wont get paid for work I have been doing, what do I need to record/gather to be able to press charges and prove my claim?
