CWIQ
DATE: October . 27 , 1987 no ,
SUBJECT: QUEST FOR INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE INVESTIGATION OF
ALLEGED INAPPROPRIATE PAYROLL EXEMPTIONS BY AM&K EMPLOYEES
SPECIFIC RE EST(S) -OR RECOMMENDATION(S) a BACKGRCIUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Request. Board' s support of an
investigation by the Internal Revenue .Service of alleged inappropriate
payroll process for exemptions by AM&K. employees.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: I 'have .written a letter to the
Internal Revenue Service . (attached) requesting a full audit .and
investigation of AM&K and individual employees in terms of exemptions
claimed. In reviewing what appears to be a computer. printout of the
company' s payroll records, I noted the many. out-of-state wokers who
have claimed 8 or 9 exemptions. As. I understand it; this is the
maximum that can be claimed without the company being required to
report these unusual number. of exemptions to the. Franchise Tax Board
and the Internal Revenue Service. It appears to me that there is a
consciencious effort to avoid paying taxes.
There are reports that the company- is encouraging workers to
claim these exemptions'. right. up to the limit in order to be able to
offer the workers more actual take-home pay.
I believe this is another. example of how out-of-state labor
. and these types of projects in Contra Costa County are not "paying
their fair share" to the local economy or local government : structure.
We have already reported previously on- the "freeloading" that is
taking place with out-of-state. workers who are complying with vehicle
registration laws.
