More of a rant than anything else...

I've told this to a few members on here, but not many.

At the beginning of the month(August 11th), I started working for a factory, through a staffing agency. This staffing agency supplies the factory with temporary workers when they need them. So far it's inconsistent as hell.

Upon entering this new job, we were told, by the staffing agency, that we were required to purchase special rubber boots,since we were going to be working in a cheese factory. The cost would be coming out of our paycheck....How much? They never told us. They just said another employment agency was paying for "most" of the cost. I looked up the cost of the boots on the internet...they were $140. Though, apparently, the cheese factory got a discount on them, since they buy them in bulk pretty much. Payday comes, and the full price of the boots had been taken out of some peoples paychecks, which was $113, including taxes. For the amount of time some had worked there, they might've as well not worked, since they worked jsut enough to pay for the boots.We were THEN told, after we were deducted $113 from our pay, that we would be LATER reimbursed for "most" of the amount when the 3rd party Employment agency (Not the staffing agency) got the money for the boots. Sorry, but THEY should've had OUR reimbursement in time for our paychecks. A lot of us NEED that money.

On top of the stupid boot crap, Of the three weeks I've now worked there, I haven't seen a single DIME.Apparently both the staffing agency AND factory fucked up the sign in and out thing. At the factory, we use a hand scanner to sign in and out fork work. Apparently it "malfunctioned" SO I had to calculate ALL my previously worked hours on a paper time sheet, and hand them in AGAIN. It was total BS. I finally handed in TWO weeks worth of Time sheets last Wednesday...Figuring what I was gonna get owed, paid out This past Friday, since we get paid every week, NOPE. They said that will be on NEXT Friday's paycheck....Well, what if I depended on that money? you guys just fucked me over. A bunch of the other temp workers never got paid either. My first Pay stub from that place(15th) reads "ZERO" dollars but 7 hours worked, Yet, that first week I worked almost 24 hours. For that 7 hours of work, I got $81 Which got deducted for some reason. Yet...for some reason, I still ended up with $50 in my bank account from unknown origins..it just says "PAYROLL Canada" on my statement. Other random people got a similar sum of $50. Which doesn't add up at all to my pay stubs. I'm also MISSING a paystub from the previous week(22nd), the week I should've been paid for this past Friday.Yet, somehow I got Friday the 15th's paystub? Even though I handed in BOTH time sheets for the week of the 15th and 22nd on Wednesday this past week? Something isn't adding up....

Something is seriously fucked up. I just hope I get paid this Friday.or I'm gone. And I'm taking my over priced boots with me.

That's not all, oh nononono....This Cheese Factory NEVER has their stuff organized, I get called in by the staffing company last minute to go in ASAP, like they want me to drop everything and go. If I give them an excuse as to why I can't go they ask what I"m doing...Well, that's none of your damned business....The Cheese factory needs to better organize their stuff. as does the Staffing agency. I don't particularly like being called at 9am in the morning to go in ASAP...not when I wasn't expecting to work that day,and I already have plans.Last Tuesday,me and a couple buddies were jsut about to head out to go mountain biking for the day, and then the staffing agency calls, wanting me to go in right away.I told them I'm already busy today and I had plans.They then said "Well you should've told us beforehand" Well, sorry but YOU should've phoned me last night if you wanted me to go in...not at 9am this morning.

I did a previous job through the staffing agency, at a music festival. It was at the end of July/beginning of August. I did a 13hr shift of standing in the blazing sun, I got home with a severe sunburn. They phoned me to go in next day, told them I couldn't because I had a severe sun burn. (I could barely move)and They said "Well, have you put cream or anything on it? No, I haven't. And not like it's gonna help against another 13hr day of blazing sun...and I don't particularly feel like getting sun stroke or melanoma. They then called me up the next day after, I gave them the same excuse....they still wanted me to go in, but I didn't. A Sun burn doesn't magically disappear overnight.

This place has been stressing me out since day 1.Both the staffing agency and the factory.

I'm about to say fuckyou to these guys.

Oh, I failed to mention...one of the reps? at the staffing agency? You know what kinda car they drive? A fucking 2011 Cadillac LTS...It's the same bitch that calls me at 9am or asks why I can't go in when they call early morning.

Temp work....it SUCKS. Especially with this staffing agency.
