@TooTea "Email is no proof that you have ever been actually employed by the company" what do you mean by this, that it is unclear if I'm an employee or contractor? If I have emails where they tell me to do work and I reply with them with the completed work, that is proof that I have worked for them. Are you saying the person who is paying me may not have the authority to do so?

@TooTea no I don't have any of that stuff. I agree it's shaddy though technically not illegal. My question is what should I do at this point? How should I inquire about this?

@TymoteuszPaul sorry that you feel attacked and find me evasive. It's sales and marketing and I go to different retail locations. Email is some proof, though that is my question what else I should have considering there is no physical location in my province.

I mean, there's a website I login to that has a record of all my completed shifts. So there is that for a paper trail.

@TymoteuszPaul I agree with what you're saying. Though I've never had any issues getting paid and so far things have worked out well. The only evidence I have that they work for the company they claim they do is the email domain in their email address.

@PhilipKendall I'm not sure, that's sort of what I'd like to figure out if this is somehow an "under the counter arrangement"? To be clear I've never had any issues with the employer or getting paid (and to my knowledge nothing is illegal about the setup).

@keshlam "Do you know where the company's headquarters are, even if they aren't in your province?" yes because they show up on Google. " Do you know who your manager's manager is and how to reach them? Do you know how to reach the HR department, or what passes for it? The accounting department, in case there's a payment error?" no - how should I ask for it without making it sound like there is a problem?
