Octapharma Plasma Inc & DETR A Horrible Place to Work & a Dishonest Government Partner Las Vegas Nevada

First I worked there for 9 months and had issues with payroll for 7 of them.  I had a miscarriage in February while at work and was placed on medical leave until my doctor authorized me to return.  I went through the process for temporaty medical pay with our insurer and was approved, but never received the funds for the 2 weeks I missed.  I followed back up with the insurerer and was told to speak with my employer.  We had a big meeting and Gina had been stealing money from Octapharma and I was asked to wait until July to recieve my medical pay.  When July came Octapharma told me that they were not going to pay me.  Payroll is consisteneltly late there by more than 3 days and management will tell you that it isn't their job to chase down your check.

I had an issue with an employee where he was yelling at me calling me a "Black b***h" saying that he'd "Slap my Face" and donors had to step in.  He scared me seeing that he is 6 foot 7 white guy and so I went to John the facility manager for help.  He told me that he would handle it. The next day Robert did the same thing calling me names and threatinging violence and again clients had to step in as I was backing away and he was walking towards me.  I again went to John and he told me that I can't come to hin for every issue.  The problem is that Robert is a drug dealer for the staff, management and donors of the clinic.  He is always in the storagte room selling drugs or using drugs and I was asking him to help me as he was assigned to work with me and that brought on his rage, racial comments and throeats of violence.  No one would help as he is their drug dealer.  So I just continued working on my own performing the job duties of 2 people working out of ratio.

I asked John to upgrade my license which would allow me to work in a hospital, medical office etc...and he told me know because he diden't want me to leave.  I had an Assistant Manager upgrade it and two days later I was fired for an underdraw that occured 7 weeks prior.  I now work in a hospital in a completely better work envcironment and Octapharma still hasn't paid me my last paycheck from when I was terminated 7 weeks ago.

I applied for Unemplyment Benefits and after 7 weeks they denied me for those benefits without ever speaking to me.  We had a scheduled appointment so they could discuss it woth me an dnever called.  I called repeatedly and left many messagtes and they were never returned.  they did however speak with my previous employer and denied me based upon that conversation.  This agency DETR protects corrupt busiensses and rejects they employees who pay into the services without even speaking with them.

I am okay net receiveing the unemployment benefits as I am now working and my struggles will soon be behind me.  I have come to the understanding that Octapharma has no intention of paying me and while I'm not okay with that there is nothing I can do, but file a complaint with the Labor Commission.  I just want the world to know that you will be mistreated by Octapharma Plasma, Inc and that DETR will ignore you.
