The company had virtually shut down operations in Jackson by that time. They were no longer sending payroll and wouldn't pay Harold. We discovered that they were treating Harold as a self-employed person, although he was working for them from 8 a.m. to sometimes midnight. They didn't take federal taxes or Social Security taxes out of his check or pay their share of Social Security tax for him. And he was not covered under workers compensation. We don't think that was right.
