My husband took a job with this company on 11-3-08 as an experienced roll-off driver. His scheduled start time was 5am. He accepted this position from Mr. Patterson and agreed to a daily salary of $135.00 per day. On his 3rd day of working there he was informed by another employee that he was only making training pay of $50.00 a day for the first 4 days of employment and then after that he would be on his salary pay. With traffic my husband got home at 7pm the first night and 6:30pm Tues & Wed night. So for a little over 36 hours worked in 3 days he is now informed he only made $150.00. When he questioned Mr. Patterson he was told it was in the 8-10 page application he signed in small print near the end of the application. Yes, I understand my husband should've caught this but this is extremely immoral on the companys behalf and on top of the fact they aren't even paying the federal minimum wage during this period. This is unethical and sneaky whether he signed or NOT! He was also informed that if he didn't complete the first 4 days of this "training period" (take in mind he has more experience than anyone there and din't need training) that he would not even receive his $50.00 per day. Well needless to say, he didn't return on Thursday. We figuered if they were this shady his first week it would only get worse. He was also informed that the employees there get treated worse than dogs and get cursed quite often by both of the owners. One of the owners, Cynthis is now calling wanting their Nextel returned. I told her it would be returned when he recieved a check from them. She therefore told me they would be charging him with theft. We are now in the process of having the Department of Labor, Minimum Wage & Overtime Division investigate this company. Yes, we could use the money they owe him but please dont consider working for these people unless you're ok with their "fine print" and how they treat people. 36 hours for free... Must be good for payroll Patterson!
