Welcome to the world of small firms that just do what they want.
I left a prior firm because they couldn’t produce an agreement to describe anything about what being a partner actually amounted to, how I would be paid, whether I would have an ownership interest, etc. I don’t work on verbal promises. I don’t trust anyone that much.
I was the first potential partner at the solo owned shop. I even drew up a template for the agreement at the owner’s request and said “fill in the parts where I have no idea what you want, but here are some suggestions” and that was not enough.
Good luck and consider opening your own firm at this point.
I was offered an associate position while a law clerk at a small firm and had the same thing happen. Compensation, billable hours and benefits kept changing and nothing was put in writing even though I asked. I didn’t come back after my post-grad trip. The youngest partner cried on the phone when I told him I wasn’t coming back. 😬
get paperwork
No, that’s not normal. Have your new partners been out of the country for a month? Why is it taking so long to get you these docs?
Because they’re idiots? I don’t know, why are you?
Maybe the payroll company simply misspoke. You’ll get a K-1.
Yes, it needs to be a K-1.
As others have said, a 1099 wouldn’t be proper here. They should be reporting your income on a K-1.
