Investopedia explains 'Cash Wages'

Cash wages are always reported by the recipient as ordinary income. Wage earners must pay  taxes out of these wages, regardless of how it is paid out. Employers must withhold payroll taxes and report employee wages. Some workers and employers pay cash wages 'under the table' to try to avoid the payroll taxes, but it is illegal to do so.
