Esteemed Response
3yThanks for letting us know. We've read your review carefully, and here's our feedback below.
Regarding pay periods, you agreed to this when you reviewed and signed the Contractor Agreement prior to the start of the job. We are very clear that we pay twice monthly in our agreement, and are happy to re-send you the Contractor Agreement for review.
Paying one pay period behind is standard practice for all US employers, as we cannot pay a pay period before the period ends. Additionally, as in our Employment Agreement, we outline that in the event a contractor leaves the contract without notice, and the client refuses to pay for the time, the contractor will not be paid for that time. We are happy to re-send you the Employment Agreement that you signed as well. Regarding the paycheck you mention not being paid for, even if the client had agreed to pay you after leaving the contract without notice, we couldn't have paid it as, at the time of this response, the pay period had not ended.
We had discussed all of this in detail after you communicated that you wanted a 40% raise after less than a month of work. After not receiving the raise, you resigned and committed to working through your two-week notice. You had told us that our team communicated to you not to work your last two-weeks. No one on our team stated this to you, as this would severely impact our relationship with our clients and contractors.
Best of luck in your future job search, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to discuss these points further with us.
Thanks!
