DirectBuy Of Providence Scammed out of overtime pay. Wariwck Rhode Island

The franchise owners at DirectBuy of Providence scammed all their employees, for the first two years of operation, out of their overtime pay.

Basically, the people who put in the ground work to help get that franchise off the ground were bullied into not getting paid for overtime through the threat of losing their job.

Having been the person who managed the time keeping system for all of 2007, I downloaded the time log spreadsheet, which clearly shows they owe me, alone, over $2,000.00.

Furthermore, they pushed all employees to attend a conference down in Florida and lied to them saying that DirdectBuy corporate required all employees to pay their own way and that attendance was mandatory. Once at the conference, a pol of all other DirectBuy locations revealed that no other franchise employees had to pay their own way.

To make matters even worse, almost all of the original "core" employees have been forced out for one reason or another.

Unfair practice? Hmmmmm.......
