I was contacted by Delta Computer Group for a contract with 7-11 stores in the Southwest Virginia area mid August. I was contracted to replace all point of sale devices in 11 stores over the course of 3 weeks.
After submitting all of my hours, and they were verified by Diebold as accurate, I was informed that this company was in the middle of a merger with Qualtech, Inc. This contract included work from 8/24-9/18 2008 yet it is 11/1 and I have yet to be paid in full for the work I provided.
I did receive ONE check 10/1 for less than HALF of the money owed to me. I was not paid for ANY of my travel time, none of my overtime, and not paid at all for the last location on 9/18.
I have been back and forth with Delta Computer Group as well as Qualtech who keep giving me the runaround. The first reply about this issue was that I would receive payment in full on 10/1. This was not the case. I then contacted the VP of Operations for Qualtech Inc to further my cause.
I informed him of what WAS and what was NOT paid to me, a total of 55 hours still being due. He informed me that I was not paid fully because I did not turn in a new timesheet under the Qualtech site, although this had been done on the Delta Computer site. I accepted that this may be just a situation arising because of their merger. I complied with Larry Altridge's (VP) request to fill out these online forms and had them completed within 2 business days. I was then told that they only ran payroll on the 1st and 15th (which I already knew).
I assumed that this issue would be resolved today (11/1) because of my escalation to an executive of this company. I did not receive any pay today nor has anyone returned my NUMEROUS emails/calls regarding the money that is OWED to me.
I am now taking this to the NY Dept. Of Labor, and will progress this site with any further updates.
I warn anyone who is contacted by either Delta Computer Group and/or Qualtech Inc. To not accept any contracts they present. They have been untruthful throughout this situation and have not shown any interest in protecting their reputation by correcting this issue.
