I was hired by Al Allen, (owner of Allen Construction), as foreman. I started working on 3/12 and finished all work was complete on 5/2. From the beginning and through out the coarse of this job, there were several times I did not have the supplies and/or materials or laborers needed to do my job. Upon informing Al he told me that he was waiting on a payment draw from another job and asked if I could purchase what was needed and he would reimburse me the costs. I paid for materials and kept all reciepts. So now they're owing my wages plus reimbursement on material costs. Everytime I ask about getting paid I was told by Al…. Hey buddy….“just hang on were waiting on a payment…I promise…. Any day now.” still no payment. I filed a claim with the labor board, went to scheduled hearing only to be informed that Allen Construction had not show up, and will be contesting my claim and I would be informed of hearing date within 6 to 7 months. I’m hoping this complaint can help in resolving this matter. I am sure Allen Construction continues running business as usual, as if they’re used to taking advantage of workers, like me, by not paying. Should anyone have any advice or information, documentation, etc., (Personal Information Removed) Thank you for your time. Mike Jerrold
