Allied Barton was a great company to work for until something goes wrong. For instance, I was transferred from one site to another, and was then on vacation for a week. It just so happened that when the company looked at weeks and hours worked to determine eligibilty for Insurance Benefits, that was the one month they decided to look at. I fell at 32 hours a week on average that month. You must be at 35 to be considered for benefits. I then had to wait a whole six months from that point on.
Here is the kicker of it all. Due to certain circumstances I was unable to get to a phone to call out of work. My aunt knew this and called out for me. She began calling at 10 in the morning and I was due in at 3, so that gives plenty of time to find a replacement. However, the phone was busy until 1 PM. The supervisor tend to be on the phone to Gautamala for hours on end. When she finally got through, the supervisor informed her that unless I called myself I would be considered a no call no show and would be fired and that she could tell me that. I was then informed by the case manager that I was suspened pending termination due to a no call no show. (if anyone who works for the company reads the handbook under call outs, no where does it say that the employee HAS to be the one that calls out!)
I let them know that I would have an employment law attorney call Human Resources, and that is when they switched my status to terminated. And now, these jackasses are trying to block my unemployment. I busted my but for this company for horribe pay and really horrible benefits, and this is how they repay me!
I hope that the company losed employees and clients due to their horrible realtionships with their employees.
