I am a Independent Contractor and do various merchandising for many companies. I was called by Peggy Schafer of C and P Merchandising, Inc. Late on 8/5 to do a store reset in Crescent Beach, FL 90 miles away. I first told her no, but she told me I would be paid. 28 a mile after the first 30 miles and $12.00 an hour. I got a money order for $27.00 about 2 months later only after contacting her several times only to be told the "Check was in the mail" The $27.00 was for my hourly work and not the mileage. Before knowing that they did not pay, I accepted another job the following Monday, she called me again that following Sunday night to do another emergency job the next morning. This job was the same pay, $12.00 plus mileage.
I worked 7 1/2 hours. This job I have never been paid for. After numerous emails, they finally told me another "Check was in the mail this past Wednesday, NO Check came. I got an email tonight stating that a check was mailed today, Saturday 11/6. I was told it was for $46.00, which is the mileage for the first job but does not include the second job. I have had it with the non-paying merchandising companies and I have since changed careers and I am working for a well paying company.
