We started working for this company in May 2013, not knowing their reputation.  We found out quickly that payments were behind.  We did receive a payment, but had the same issue the following month again.  I spoke with Brian, and he stated they were behind on payments from their clients and assured me they were to be caught up by October.  We gave them the benefit, and stuck it out through mid October.  At this point, we had another conversation with Syntechs and they admitted they would not be caught up by the end of October.  To follow their contract terms and ensure we would not lose any more money than we already are, we provided a 30 day written notice on October 16 with 30 days ending on Nov 15.  On Nov 16, they tried to route an order to us and we refused.  They threatened to charge us for reassignment.  We followed through on the 30 days as expected by them, and now we are almost to the end of the year with no payments being received.  We have payments due in excess of $7500 for orders completed as far back as July.  Of course, they are always unresponsive and can never tell you if a check is out.  Several times we were told for several weeks a check had been mailed out.  This company is very good at trying to string you along, as if each dept doesn't know what the others are doing.  They all know exactly what they are doing.  I don't understnad how someone can operate or even work for a business knowing they are only taking advantage of people trying to make a living and support their families.  Fortunately, we are a well established business that was just looking for some additional work, and have been able to sustain non payment to an extent.  I can only think of someone that is trying to make a living off of their work, and not being paid.  This would cause someone to lose everything, and Syntechs wouldnt care because they are still getting paid every week.  This company has no regards for anyone but theirselves, and should not be in business.

Beware of this company!  Do yourself a favor and sit at home doing nothing before you work for this company and lose money!

 We have sent them a couple emails regarding the release of remaining payments due with no response.  We have already spoken with our attorney and plan to take legal action next week.

UPDATE 10-18-15 Syntechs closing, join lawsuit.

AUTHOR: T-Con - (USA)

POSTED: Sunday, October 18, 2015

10-18-15:

Syntechs is closing operations. Send email to thefallofsyntechs gmail com for contact info of a Florida-based attorney who is taking on technicians who have been left in the cold.  There was a notice that went out 10/15/15 in the form of an emailed link that went to a page where once read, the letter could not be re-accessed.

"Announcement - Syntechs

We are sure that over these past few weeks you have been wondering what is going on at Syntechs.

We tried very hard to manage our increasingly difficult situation, of increased costs and decreasing margins, but were not successful.

As a result of all these challenges we have decided for the time being to cease our operations. We have begun to work with a restructuring firm to examine our operations and determine if and how we can move forward.

We anticipate a more detailed announcement on our restructuring efforts early next week.

We know that you have a lot of questions, and wish we could give you all the answers now, however, until we can begin our restructuring process, we will not have any further information."

#2 UPDATE EX-employee responds

lets get a class action

AUTHOR: nick - ()

POSTED: Monday, April 28, 2014

I personally worked for the company for 3 months and never received any payment. After having enough with waiting around on hold doing nothing for 30 minutes to get permision to replace a part I told them they broke their contract for not having payed and I would no longer run any calls. They responded by saying they were charging me 100 per call and more for every call in my area for 30 days. Let's not let this company get away with what they are doing, they do everything in their power not to pay techs and it is not right. 

I would like to start a class action lawsuit against this company. If you are an ex employee, have received payment late or anything such as being misled on the expenses (or were charged fees without them documenting each of their expenses.) please email me with the details and first and last name. I wish to get as many people as possible and as much documentation as possible before bringing it before a law firm. (emails and recorded phone calls would be great) Nick@frankensteintech.com

I see

I can see that the original reasons that caused me to terminate my contract with Syntechs are still alive and well. Honestly, I don't miss it at all. I don't miss being harassed about hoops to jump through just to do 1 call a month. Always contacting me for a bid for fun. All I ever asked for was fair compensation.
