The Bolt Agency Premier Image Agency *BEWARE*Unprofessional, failure to pay employees Denver Colorado

 BEWARE**** I worked for The Bolt Agency 3 times and they have YET to pay me for my work! They also blocked my profile after contacting them several times regarding their failure to compensate me...so I am no longer able to sign onto the site to check the status of my payment! The owner Patrick Brougham mailed me after hanging up on me when I called to ask them to confirm the address the check had been mailed to. Here is what he said to me: ******Steffany, You are a 1099 independent contractor, you knew of Bolt payment policies before working with Bolt and could not accept payment when paid on-time. You were paid on 11/30! You couldn’t figure out how to use a peer-to-peer payment system and check #9049 was then dropped in the mail, sent to 519 Swope Ave. Colorado Springs, Co. 80909. Bolt will gladly cancel the check and send you $75.00 right now via Chase Quickpay. You no-called, no-showed to an event that the bar owner then raised as an complaint to Heaven Hill corporate which obviously put Bolt in hot water and was a huge issue for us to diffuse based solely on your performance and neglect (regardless of what/who was at fault for your no-show, you should have followed the procedures in the Training Manual and contact a Bolt representative immediate, 24/7 Bolt Phone). Per your contract signed by you with Bolt, Bolt can recoup damages and losses for your malfeasance up to $250.00. Believe it or not, contracts are what hold up in the eyes of the law (EEOC and BBB). Take this issue to any lawyer and they would just raise their eyebrows at you.***** And might I add...I showed up to all 3 shifts I was scheduled for. I worked all 3 shifts, which were 1 hour each...totalling 3 hours of work at $25/hr. If I had no showed then why would they still be paying me for the full three hours of work? It's all ridiculousness and Patrick (the owner of the company) obviously doesn't know a thing about how to speak to people professionally. His last message to me basically said that they cancelled the check and if I am "too stupid" to figure out the peer to peer direct deposit then it wasnt their fault I didn't get my check...they are blaming it on the USPS now and refusing to accept responsibility for re-issuing a new check. Here is Patrick's text message response...letting me know that if the check got lost in the mail it was my problem not his: ****We dropped a check in the mail after the 7th, you've been paid since chase remitted payment directly to you, user malfeasance is not my issue but yours.*****
