Learned today as being a (independent contractor) process server that now the time waiting on payment is 14-21 days. I was told around 14 days at hire. Most checks have been stretching out to 21 to even receive it. I was informed that I was informed of this policy time and time again. I was not.
Look for another server job? Looked at my non compete clause…cripes 3 years. I talked to another company and they pay on a regular basis, every two weeks. OMG what my life would be with that sort of schedule. A regular basis would be a help is all I can say. If its 21 days…or somewhere around that date means it could be 30 days until being compensated. Husband has been off since September with some sort of neurological issue that they cant figure out. So if my job is supplemental, it hasnt been since September.
It is all becoming a big ass emotional problem for me. Sick of it all.:(
Blurfage Another suicide here yesterday of a fresh faced active duty sailor who looked about 20 in his picture. This makes me sad. It happens way too often.
Hey Chuck Yeager, look at your state’s policies; some states require payment w/in two weeks.
Of course when you live in PA, work in NJ & get paid by a company in MI, no Dept of Labor, not even the Feds wants to get involved because they all have slightly different versions of what they have jurisdiction over. :smack: :mad: :mad:
Snowing & blowing here, sticking on the cars & grass, but that’s it…for now.
I had to go out in it too, & I’m pissed about that because I had to go a back to physically deposit a paycheck. Me. A credentialed expert in ACH/direct deposit, working at an online bank has to go & physically deposit a check. ::SMH:: :smack:
Very windy, in the upper 30s, but no precipitation here in no. Illinois. Had leftover Swedish meatballs and slad for lunch. I truly have no irk to do at irk. Maybe I will read my book (Victoria, by Daisy Goodwin) and leave early.
Just waiting around to see if my girl’s soccer team practice is going to get rained out (the Parks people promised a decision by 3PM). Went out and inventoried some portable goals with an eye towards moving them to the fields, but they won’t fit in the back of my Durango; need a volunteer(s) with pickup trucks.
WBY, hope the venting helped; it is frustrating to do the work and then have to wait…and wait…and wait for the check. Best of luck and {{{}}}
Boo Fae, if you enjoyed the North Island of New Zealand, you’ll absolutely love the South Island; IMHO as always, but I did.
Mooomm, been following the news on the shooting; didn’t know it was that close to you.
Butters, I remember when I worked for the DoD that they had suicide prevention training because of the numbers of deaths from Armed service members; sad one so young determined the only thing to do was to take their life.
Bad haid day. I may struggle forth with the aid of caffeine, or I may stay here in my nice hole. Either way, I hate my haid. Why do we have to bounce between rain, clear but frost, and thunderstorms in a day anyway? (grumble, grumble)
No work is bein’ done on the kitchen today, with good reason. A friend of mine and also a close friend and almost family member of the folks doin’ the work was taken off life support at the horsepistol, and while breathin’ on her own, is non-responsive. She was taken to the horsepistol on Sunday after bein’ found non-responsive by her husband. She and her husband own a duplex and live in one side. The folks doin’ da cave makeover live on the other side. Besides that all their families are real close so they are almost family. I told 'em the place for them to be is with Tammie and her family and not to worry as the kitchen and bathrooms will get done when they get done. Just sad. Tammie is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever known. She’s had health issues for a few years now and it looks like this is the end.
On the up side, since I can use the kitchen, I am roastin’ a chikin in the oven along with smashed N.O.T., peas 'n carrots, and rolls to sup upon. Suppage will be yum.
I’m talking to HR today about a job offer within my current company. I’m flipping petrified - since I stopped writing for a living I’ve been in the same niche for 13 years. In 3-4 weeks, I may be moving on to something completely new. I hadn’t realized how complacent I was in my current role until now. Change is good, but the thought makes me want to shit my pants. I guess that probably means I should make the leap.
overlyverbose maybe, maybe not. If it sounds interesting, and you want to try the work, go for it. If you think you need new skills, and this is a good way to get them, go for it. On the other hand, if you are happy in your current job and have no reason to fear losing it, you have found a prize worth treasure. Good jobs, which you love, can be nigh impossible to find. Don’t feel impelled to do it, just because.
We have supped. ‘Twas good. I should turn the leftover chikin into chikin sallit but I feel uninspired to do so at the moment. Maybe early tomorrow mornin’. Or not. Tammie is still hangin’ on so the paint and wallpaper folks may be there tomorrow as well. Fine with me as their bein’ there if needed is the most important thing.
I’m probably going to take this one. It’s interesting work and I’ve been bored at my current position for two years. I’m told I’ve been ready for promotion for at least 2-3 years, but there are no open positions in my current department, nor will there be unless someone dies or retires. So I think it’s time for me to move along. I’ll miss working with these people. We’ve been friends for years. But it’s gotten to the point where I can do my job in my sleep.
I had to take the longer route home because Great Mills Rd was still closed between my office and Rt 5. I can’t imagine what the kids and their parents are going thru. Apparently the girl who’s in critical condition was the girlfriend of the shooter. And he was supposedly a super smart, well-liked, high achieving student. They’re not sure if he shot himself or the deputy shot him. Tragedy all around.
It’s sleeting here. I’ve decided I’m turning off my alarm. When I get up, I’ll decide whether to go in or not. The forecasts are all over the place - from 2 to 12" of snow, depending on the site. I don’t have anything critical on my desk so I’ll get there when I get there.
Thanks everyone. I will talk to my doctor. We have a meeting at work tomorrow so I had to reschedule my appointment out one week. FCM, I understand your daughter’s decision completely. It’s kind of ironic that today I finally finished the 4 year long mentoring program and applied for my first professional license and I really don’t know if I want to/can continue teaching.
Meanwhile, we’re waiting to see what tomorrow’s weather will bring. It sounds like it could be ugly. Again. I did manage to get my speed work run in tonight and that makes me feel better.
Tis a wet, rainy day for the first day of spring in middle Tennessee. Like metal mouse, we were under tornado watches and warnings last night and for us anyway, TWPTB are predicting snow tonight. :eek:
The floors are swept and mopped, supper has been et and now, I’m fixing to do KP before chilling in the studio.
Still snowing here, we are getting a lot, and the TV is out.
Sah-son is going out to shovel the back sidewalk now. We usually don’t but since we got iced in last time I think we should.
He has to go out for a test this week so we can’t get stuck.
I probably should have moved the truck out front.
Ripple can go out with him and maybe burn up some energy. He has been on a tear today, driving all of us crazy.
The cat is in a pissy mood because he wants to go out but he doesn’t like snow.
TWPTB keep changing the forecast. Now we are supposed to get snow tomorrow again, but clear the rest of the week.
