I have had multiple problems with this employment agency. When I first started my employment (oct. 11th) everything was fine,... Until - it was time for me to be paid! My recruiter (derrick higgins) told me I should receive my check the following friday (oct. 22). Well it never came, so I called him the next day (sat), because it didn't come that day either. So derrick said "it should definatley be there on monday". Well guess what?... It never came. So I spoke with megan morgan and I enformed her that my car payment was due, and I have a "passtime register" in my car. (the loan company will idle your car until you make your payment) she assured me my "training check" would be on my second check (nov. 29th) & offered to take me back and forth to work. (which I declined, because I should not have to do that) so both of my checks were on there. The following pay period, megan morgan called me & stated that the company I am employed through (garden city group) did not approve my hours. So I went to the lady who handles payroll approval (amanda)...& she showed me in the database where she had approved all of my hours. So I called megan back & she said they werent, so I had amanda call her. Everything panned out, and aerotek had everyone come to the office and pick our checks up on nov. 4th. I did not recieve my 4th check on friday nov. 12th. I called aerotek & they stated they sent them out that day, so we should recieve them either saturday or monday. Well today is thursday, november 18th, 2010. Aerotek told me there is nothing they can do until 10 days after it has been sent out. Then I would have to come up there, sign a form, & they will have another one mailed to their office. (which will take a total of 12days I had to wait for my check) today another check was issued out, and I still havent recieved payment for the check for last week. Now I am not a person to complain, but I am struggling to pay my bills at the moment. My uncle was murdered in july and my parents left it up to me to pay for the funeral (due to their lack of funds & location). This has now caused me to face hardship! I had the place I reside at now checked for a broken pipe, and they confirmed a gas leak is there. I would have stayed in a hotel for the next few days but... I did not get my check so I have no where to stay! I have a daughter named mikaia, who's 1st birthday is this weekend & I cant even buy her a cake, let alone go buy her atleast 1 present because I did not get my check! I dont have gas to get back & forth to work, (I live in the short north in columbus, ohio & my job is in dublin, ohio) sooo... I might get fired for not being able to make it back and forth to work-why?... Because I did not get my check!
I took every precaution to make sure my time sheet was in on time, and that I filled it out precisely. I have done everything on my end. They expect me to be at work, on time, everyday... Well I expect to get paid for it on time! The sad part about this is... Im not the only one they are doing this to! There are several employees who are not recieving the funds they are entitled to. Please look into this! If you need the names & numbers for the other people I know aerotek is doing this to, I will be more than happy to provide them! Thank you gratefully, michel'le miller
As you see the date on my complaint...this has BEEN happening! Contact the number the other guy posted to my comment & contact them. I am starting to think...can we sue these people for this!?!?!? Well, I live in Ohio & i looked up our labor laws. You should do so too! Maybe something can be done to stop this! I hope you get it straightened out because I DEFINATELY know how you feel!
Well sorry to hear about that! I TRULY am...but the company I work for (in DUBLIN) Have over 50 different AEROTEK employees staffed there & come to find out that 22 out of the 50 have still not recieved at least 1 check as of today or have had more than 2 late/check issues with them. Its now to the point where we have written up a petition to have our contract with AEROTEK voided & just be hired through the company. We havent spoken to everyone that is staffed just yet...so if u are working at a job close to tuttle mall in dublin...u probably know what job im talking about! (I prefer to leave the company out of it)

I am not the only one either...we are all very upset as we are working disaster relief...up at 4am...on job site at 6am...work til 7pm ( at the earliest) and then have to go to the company we are actually doing the work for to "check out" for the day...get paperwork straight...etc...since FEMA is involved...I personally have not been signed out before 8:30pm...as we are busy...my paperwork is ready and correct...by the time I get home...I still have to empty my food cooler and make a lunch and extra for the next day...takes about another hour...This does NOT include making any type of food or a shower...have not laid my head down before 11pm yet...the up by 4 am...just like everyone else...just trying to get by and survive...my car insurance was due today...$558.00 and my direct deposit was $304 from Aerotek for 78 hours for the week...straight time up to 40 hours and time and a half thereafter! Does $304 sound like the right amount to anyone? NOT! Very, very, very...P*##@D OFF! Karma is a B*%#H! Rrrrrrrr...
After much negotiations and complaining to the company after 4 1/2 weeks they finally paid me and when I did finally get paid they left out my perdim... Aerotek then tried to explain that this has never happened before and they played the blame game never taking responsibility for there negligence. After reading many post of other people having the same issue it is obvious this company needs to better there business. I mentioned earlier how they neglected to pay my perdeim after calling several times and being told I would not receive my perdiem due to it was supposedly not approved so I then called aeroteks corporate office and fouggt to get my perdiem that they finally sent me several weeks later! I had harassing and threatening text messages from employees at Aerotek mad because I made quite the impression with corporate office. Aerotek promised me new employment and to this day I have not gotten anything for new employment and I'm still employed through Aerotek supposedly. It makes me wonder if Aerotek is trying to pull some type of scam and they are getting away with...gee this company makes me wonder wether they're ripping people off who don't say anything or whatever they're up to!
I have went through the exact issues just before Christmas! Woww I though u was the only one but I guess not. I wonder if there is anything I can do due to negligence of this company.
Yep started a contract with Aerotek on December 8th. First check came in Mail on a Friday. The next check was mailed from the Everett mall way location on Christmas eve. I still do not have it. I live two miles from their office. They refused to pay me and cut me a check. I have to wait until January 8th before they can do anything. What a scam. Thanks Aerotek, my rent has a $400 late fee now. Horrible company. Should be sued the pants off corporate.
I worked for Aerotek in South Carolina. It has been a month and they have not given me my first check yet. I have a Post Office box, these people mailed it to my physical address...There is no box outside of my door so they claim that I have to wait ten days to be issued another check. These people are not getting away with free labor. I look into a lawyer for my money.
Hi people,
I did some digging for everyone and since I am one of you and I found out that one of the remaining owners Jim Davis has friends up top meaning (government) and no matter how much you complain about company protocol the complaints will just go to waste. If I was you I wouldn't call the better business bureau but my state or county electives. If the issue keeps on rising then it will have to be passed on to the upper authorities that will push BBB to do something. Right now the BBB gets your complaints and sends them off and it gets dumped. The sure way also to also be heard and have a positive feedback because it is mandatory for them to do. Is to contact the white house or congress, go to there respective sites and go to contact us. Legally they have to have a type of answer. Its not the best system but it is the best we have. I hope it helps, power to workers from bad employers!
Hey thisisjewels7: Are you still having the same problems, or has Aerotek gotten their act together?

I just quit Aerotek last week, what a joke of a company! I hired on as a District Sales Manager for ACDelco, and it was a nightmare experience between both companies. I was hired and had to literally sit and wait for GM to get me a laptop that took several weeks, then VPN would not work and that was another week, then the paycheck situation was a nightmare. GM wouldn't even train me correctly, just made a bunch of copies of crap the other reps used and told me to figure it out on my own. WTF! I would e-mail my local Aerotek office and get zero responses back. I would call and leave vm's, still get nothing back. Then a week would pass and I would get an email stating that they were swamped and would get back to me when they had a chance, which never happened. They also never advised me of the 1 time yearly window to enroll for benefits, and I lost out on that as well, next window to enroll was Nov 2011! So I quit, gave a resignation and walked. I will never make that mistake again being a contract employee. They also never told me about the route I would be covering in the Ventura area, and all the driving I would have to do. Also could not buy gas on fridays and mondays either. I was also not allowed to use ACDelco business cards or I would be fired, I would have to use the cards that Aerotek supplied, which they never did supply. I had my own ACDelco ones made up anyways, but what a joke of a company! I advise everybody to stay away from Aerptek unless you absolutely need employment, was a terrible experience, and shame on GM ACDelco for utilizing them. Raytheon is other company that contracts for ACDelco/GM as well, and I heard nightmares about them as well from Raytheon contracted employees.
I have had slow paychecks in the past, but now this experience I'm having now just TICKS me off! I got my paycheck Friday, took it to the Bank of America branch I have gone to in the past, and they couldn't verify the signature so they wouldn't cash it. (mind you I have been cashing these checks weekly for almost a year now, so I was a bit surprised). So Saturday, I took it to the branch I go to the majority of the time, same issue "we can't cash this check because this signature doesn't match any on file." This is exactly why I won't deposit these checks, in fear of them bouncing.
So I called up the headquarters in Maryland, number has been disconnected, I'm starting to panic now. So I call my local office here in Torrance, and explained what is happening and that they need to re-issue a check with the correct signature. She replies "Gee, no one else is having this problem, let me call our headquarters." She calls me back and tells me they have a new check signer and that the old signer no longer works for the firm. I inquired as to why they would have the new signer sign the checks if he wasn't authorized at the bank yet. And she replies "we sent out letters to all the branches and your branches must not have gotten the letter yet. Maybe I can have my headquarters contact your branch and tell them it's ok to cash the check." It's been almost 4 hours since the last call, no word yet.
So I'm thinking and fuming, who sends out letters to each branch of a bank telling them the signature has changed on payroll checks? B of A has over 6, 100 branches in the US. So they sent over 6, 100 letters? I don't think so. Even if I wanted to change something on my account that has to do with my signature, I have to physically go into my branch where I opened my account to process the change, and then that change is automated into the computer system networked to all the branches.
My guess is Aerotek screwed up. My fear is they did this on purpose because they couldn't meet payroll! Are they going out of business? Will I ever be able to cash this check? Will I get paid this Friday and will I be able to cash this check? Meanwhile, my rent is now late, and I can't even tell my landlord when I will get paid. I could take this check to my bank and cash it there, but if B of A denies payment on the check because the signature doesn't match, I'm screwed. The reason B of A checks the signatures EVERY TIME I cash this check is because Aerotek's account is set up to do so because of check fraud.
Anyone else having issues cashing checks? Did this just start happening?
