Q: Can I find out how much a company made in a year legally without infringing on They're privacy ?
I had performed the job for a independent contractor that my boss was working for who is an independent contractor himself and afore mentioned party did not pay me.
A:
Finding out how much a company made in a year can be tricky but there are legal ways to gather this information. If the company is publicly traded, you can access their financial statements, which are usually available on their website or through financial databases. These reports include annual earnings and other financial details.
For private companies, it can be more difficult. You might find some information through business databases like Dun & Bradstreet or by checking if they file any public financial statements with government agencies. Sometimes, news articles or industry reports can provide insights into a company's financial performance.
If you are owed money, it's important to focus on recovering your payment. Document all the work you did and any agreements made. Consider sending a formal demand letter or seeking legal advice to explore your options for getting paid.
