On August 4th, I was contacted by Kate Smith after I posted on FB that I needed a job. She offered my a position as a recruiter for Rapunzel Models, a long hair advertising agency. She claimed they wanted to move the company into the NM/CO area.
Over the next 3 weeks, we worked closely together. I put 2 ads on Craigslist and recruited close to 30 models for the company. There were a few discrepancies right away (like not sending the promised contract) but I continued to work in good faith.
I was told my first paycheck was the 19th of August. After pointing out that they had no way to pay me, I sent Paul Cirillo an e-mail with my banking instructions. He sent me a copy of my "check stub" by return mail; what my gross pay, deductions and net pay would be. I followed up with them Friday afternoon and was told 12-24 hours.
When I went back to them on Monday August 22nd, I was told the transfer was rejected. I have communication from Kate Smith as late as August 25th. "I am truly sorry that you haven't been paid yet. I feel like I am stuck in the middle of it and I suppose rightfully so...
I wish I knew why Paul hasn't made due on anything yet. And I know thats unacceptable. I have put a few calls into him and he hasn't answered. Again I know you dont want to hear that from me." As of August 28th, I still have not received my compensation. I have also found 2 other people that this has happened to as well.
