Norvergence
Another former employee ripped off by "wonderful" pay plan

I too, have fallen prey to the Norvergence ISR pay scam. Here's how it went. I recieved a call about a position with the company and proceeded to set up the interview.in that interview I was informed that my pay would be $40K annually with the ability to make tons more via commissions. Pay was also given bi-weekly.

I was also told that there were two different pay scales and that I was recieving the better of the two. The other was at 30K annually FYI. I was taught when i was younger to pay attention to things when your putting your signature on them, so naturally I read things through on the paperwork that I signed. Now i get to training.in training it was explained that that 40K breaks down into two things. Your normal hourly rate of $6.85 an hour (what a fu*&*n joke) and an "attendance bonus". This attendance bonus could be given or taken away at managements discretion.

Company policy states (you find this out post-hire) that this means pretty much anything. Wording in this paperwork you're given is vague for the most part. Some of the things they were clear about was lateness. This I can understand. Losing some money and getting in trouble for being late is business. Stealing 2/3 of your paycheck at their disretion is ridiculous. I live about an hour from this place and would normally wake about 3 hours early to compensate for geting ready, and travel time. Out my door by 6 am for an hour drive. There were times in my short employ there that i was still late regardless. One of them was for a blowout on the parkway on the way there.

When I appealed the loss of the "attendance bonus" on that occasion I was told I needed physical proof. Asking what that was, I was then told - a AAA help report, or a policeman's report that he stopped to assist. I said how about the actual blown out tire. That won't do, I was told. So, all in all this company has left a bad taste with me, and I'm currently filing paperwork with the state labor board to have them investigated and try and get the $2096 they claimed as my lost attendance bonus.

If there's anyone else who has had this happen, please come forward and file the same way I did. Maybe together we can shed dome light on an otherwise shady company. There are other bits of knowledge about them i have learned while working there, but that's businees law. I just want what's mine. That house of cards called Norvergence will eventually fall b/c of their own practices.
