Here's the question: How much responsibility does a manager have when working for a sole-proprietorship in Nevada? I worked for a restaurant last year for about 4 months as a manager. I hired and fired people, purchased supplies, paid the employees and distributors (I was a signer on the checking account), as well as waited tables and put up with the owner's ignorance of the restaurant industry. I left/was termed in July 2004, basically mutual aggreement that it wasn't working out.

This morning (May 5, 2005), I got a call from an attorney on behalf of an advertising company, demanding payment for an ad that was bought but never fully paid for. This attorney said that this was already sent to the credit bureau to be posted to my credit report and he also had my husband's information (name & SSN).

Not only did I have full permission from the owner to make decisions like this, the owner was present and participating in the discussion with the salesman. Now, the advertising company is suing me for payment.
