On February 8 I was fired after 3-1/2 years of employment by telephone. The company owes me $10,000 for commissions, expenses and vacation. They are auditing my expense reports for alleged discrepancies and it will take 90 days. These expenses were billed and collected from clients and vouchered with valid receipts.
They are withholding final pay subject to an audit by ADP and are out of compliance with the Illinois Labor Board for final payments. They rescinded the vacation policy and are charging back vacation pay from 2007 and are withholding vacation earned in 2007 for 2008. Vacation was paid for 2 weeks in 2005 and 2006.
I was told by the owners, Chuck Orabutt and Dan Hostetler in December that I was one of their best employees. They will not talk to me or the 27 others they terminated who they owe money to. The new COO Ron Bridges threatened to get a restraining order against my wife if she called again to inquire about my pay.
They have gone from one of the "seven crown jewels" of consulting groups to an unfair, unethical place of business.
Prospective clients and employees beware.
