Employer paid me under the table without my consent. How do i file now?

I just got hired and signed all the necessary documents they have you sign when you first start a job. Well i only worked for 5 days and it was a housekeeping job. I was getting paid per room and we got paid every other Friday. Payday comes around and my check was never deposited into my account so i got ahold of my boss and she told me to come to the hotel and I'll get paid so i do and she gave me cash instead of a check with a receipt. I figured i was gonna get a w2 at the end of the year but never received one and i asked my former employer for my w2 and she told me they never put me on the pay roll because i didnt work there long enough but ive worked other places for less and i still received a W-2 so now how am i to file?

technically you are supposed to contact the IRS for the employer's failure to issue a w-2 after you requested one.
