American Alarm Company denied many summer sales employees back end checks in 2007. I honestly worked very hard, and despite constant corrections on my front end check of 200 dollars for every sale I received, my back end check was never sent. After repeated attempts to secure this money through both Skye Knotts (payroll employee) and Jennifer Klimer (Payroll employee who mysteriously took Skye's position) and Danielle Paletz and the infamous Darryl Johnson himself, never was paid the agreed upon 4,081 dollars. After continued threats of a lawsuit and final agreement of a no-harm paper sent through registered mail, they never sent a check. After this happened they never would answer any of my phone calls, emails, or texts. Many employees of this 2007 summer have either sued or are in the process of suing this company for obtaining wages. Darryl told me himself that the amount that he needed to pay to employees amounted to either 75,000 or 750,000 - I can't remember so I will not pretend.
One employee in particular had his dad sue for him (he is an attorney) and he won. Some ask why not do a class action lawsuit, but then Darryl threatened that he would claim bankruptcy and just start a company under another name and never have to pay a single cent to his employees. He threatened that if we were going to bring a lawsuit against him, that he would plan on dragging it out as long as possible. I don't trust this guy or Danielle for that matter at all. I have all of my records and email correspondences still to show proof of my being screwed out the money. They are not a good company - at least with their employees. I don't know how they fare in their responsibilities with their customers. If you are an employee thinking about signing on with this company, please save yourself the hassle and don't get yourself caught up in getting screwed out the money.
