I made only $308 and company said its policy was not to send out W2s for wages less than $600

The company is treating you as an independent contractor, not an employee, and the threshold for providing you with a Form 1099-NEC is $600. The $308 is non-employee compensation, not wages.

As an independent contractor, you are a self-employed sole proprietor and you are to enter the $308 as self-employment income. If your total self-employment income is under $433, there is no self-employment tax.
