If the place where I work is telling me to work hour's for free, what
should I do ?

I am worried that working for free is illegal, immoral, unethical, and
unprofessional, and I am also worried that it exposes me to the
possibility
of an IRS audit as I could be accused of getting paid "under the table"
(tax evasion etc.).

I appreciate any replie's.

As others have said, you don't supply enough details for anyone here to
really comment much on.

Also, you have already been given replies that pretty much run the board. I
will add this: When I was flight instructing pretty much everyone of us was
expected to answer phones, straighten up the snack room, make coffee, help
put supplies away, inventory stock, etc., etc., etc. We shoveled snow off
the steps, cleaned airplanes, preheated planes in the winter - you get the
idea, lots of things that weren't flying or instructing. Heck, we even had
to spend a few evenings a year at a sports and vacation show booth answering
question about learning to fly. We even made calls to people who visited
the booth trying to drum up business. You know what? No one complained.
You know why? Because all of us wanted to progress in our career and that
was the way to start out doing it.

You call it Slavery, we called it Work Ethic.

My advice: Sure, you can call the Labor Commission, you can talk to a
lawyer, you could file a complaint. Then what? Then you are labeled a
trouble maker, a whiner, etc. and there goes your references for better
employment.

Do as others here have suggested - if it's that bad, get out. If not, grin
and bear it.
