My first job assignment with manpower was at Hatch...
My first job assignment with manpower was at Hatch Stamping.The pay was $12.50. Manpower did not pay me my shift premium and tried not paying me for a day they claimed I missed, I talked to HR at Hatch and they said they sent over 48 hours for the week and that manpower was most likely trying to steel the money. After getting hired in and getting close to the $15 cap I left Hatch and took another job from Manpower.
Manpower sent me to the Mixing department at Jiffy mixes. The pay was $15.50 an hour. At first I thought it was a good job but i had a million problems with manpower. They promised 12 sets of uniforms which never came despite the fact I was working with dangerous chemicals that burn and blisters your skin. They claimed in orientation that we are paid by the minute and we will be paid every minute we work. I was never, not once paid for any of the times I had to work 10-15 minutes over, I never was paid for the Town hall meetings, which are a hour long. They fired the one other manpower employee in my department for getting in an argument with somebody, and then I had twice the amount of work to do. Also Jiffy Mixes changed procedures and I was required to lift 100lb barrels of ingredients chest high and dump them into the mixers, this is not in the job description and exceeds the 80lb maximum weight requirement.
When the season was almost over I ask for another job assignment when the season ends. I was told to wait until the new year to see if I would be called back. I told manpower that would make me ineligible for unemployment and that I needed a new job assignment within 7 days or I m filing for unemployment. They never offered me another assignment. I filed for unemployment and they disputed my claim. The most grotesque thing is they falsified documents submitted to UIA, they created write ups and disciplinary actions that never existed and submitted only half the transcripts of a voicemail they left me because the other half of the voicemail contained threats towards me.
If I find out that these fabricated disparaging remarks are being repeated about me in reference checks, I will contact my family s attorney and take their advice on how to proceed with civil actions.
