I performed a weld test for a company last year and was verbally told that I passed (I didn't sign any employment contracts or set up any benefits and I didn't discuss a verbal contract). My shift started the next day and after being in the working conditions for a few hours I left without notifying anyone. I wasn't set up on the time clock and I wasn't clocked in. They haven't sent a check in the mail or called me in to come pick one up for the few hours I was there. Even now that tax season is here they haven't sent me any W-2s in the mail. I'm not concerned with any of that as I have moved on. My question is, was I technically employed or unemployed?
How do I prove either?

You wouldn't have been able to have been legally employed without a contract being written on papers with your signature. Of course, this depends on what country you live in and the rules of the state. But this rule should apply to most places. Even if you made a temporary agreement with your company about signing later, if you can't prove your attendance at the weld test or you passing it, you might as well be unemployed.
I hope this helped.
