I quit working for SBG Digital almost 4 weeks ago and they have yet to pay me for the final 4 weeks that I worked for them. Over $2000.00 is owed to me. Not only that, but the company that contracts them, MASTEC, paid SBG Digital for bonuses earned ie..sales, DPP Commissions for the periods of August 2009 through Feb 2010 and those bonuses have not been paid either. Nearly $400.00 owed. Grand total of nearly $2400.00 owed. I have asked where my final pay is, told the owner that I would contact the IRS, Labor Board, State Labor Board, etc., and yet, he will not answer when I will get the pay that is owed to me. Also, it was discovered that the QC Technician that was being used to check our work was NOT a qualified QC Technician at the time and that charge backs are bogus. This company has charged back Technicians for jobs that they say have failed, yet when I went back to check these jobs, nothing was wrong. Sometimes, the QC Technician took pictures of the wrong job! Barry Garnes was asked numerous times about the MASTEC MONEY as it is called and he said he would check into it. Yet, still no answers, no pay. He even told the Area Supervisor at the time, (yes, you guessed it, he no longer works there either), to drop it and let it go. Basically to me, this was telling him that we were not going to be paid. At the time I began working for SBG Digital, I signed NO contracts or documents stating that my pay would be held beyond the Federal Laws guidelines which states that any one due a paycheck during a pay period must be paid on that payday or Federal Law is violated. Well, that payday has passed, and another payday coming this Friday. One violation has been committed already, will another????

I'm sorry to say but your whole little article you wrote sounds like it was wrote by the owner of the company or the owner was telling you to write it and possibly paying you to write good things about him/her. It just doesn't feel right. I believe Micah just may be pretty accurate on his statements. Any company that would their employees get on here and bash another company that's not even in the conversation. ...."up dish comm". Heck they aren't the topic, sbg is. Up dish could by all rights and legally and should sue sbg for libel and slander. any companies that would hire people who are going to get online and start crap like this about other companies, then people should stay away from them. Because obviously they have problems to even be on this website. There are a couple of other Ripoff Reports also. if I were going to get a satellite dish installed it definitely wouldn't be by this company.

#3 UPDATE Employee
barry is fair and the only owner of a company that doesn't act like hes too good to talk to his employees

Barry Garnes is the best owner of a company that I've ever worked for. I'm saying this because he actually cares about his employees. He gave me a loan a few days ago which will be taken out of my check over 16 weeks. He did this because my wife left me and I had no money to pay my bills until I got paid . He didn't have to do this but he chose to because he cares about us. When I started working for this company I was told I would be workin local and hardly ever go out of state. Everything that they told me is true. I have drove over an hour to begin my route once to cover for another employee that had a doctors appointment. Big deal! I do not mind to help a fellow employee out when needed. That is expected and I hope that one day if I need help because something came up I will recieve help. This is a team based organization. We all work together. If anybody thinks this is a bad place to work try working 70 hrs a week days a week for up dish communications for the same pay as working here for half the time. I was constantly in grundy honaker norton clinchco and other areas 2-3 hrs from where I live. There were some nights I didn't get home til 2am and had to work the next day. The owner of the company told us that if we didn't sell 4 tv screen cleaners a week it could "cost us our jobs." also we had to drive to the warehouse for equipment daily and they may have the equipment to do your jobs for the day and they may not so you might have to drive over an hour to get you equipment to work for the day. We have never had that problem at sbg because Barry takes care of us . Believe what you want but this job has been a blessing to me having known what I know about up dish and how bad it is over there this place is awesome.

NO, Micah was not paid more than he was owed!

No, Barry and Sherry Garnes did not pay Micah Terry more than they owed. They NEVER paid the last week of paid owed and Thanksgiving weekend of 2009, they changed the pay withholding from two weeks to three weeks. They only paid EVERYONE at SBG Digital for 1 week that week. When final pay was given, they paid for 2 weeks, not including the extra week held, and the final week of pay, that they received paperwork on and never paid. Doesn't matter, was never once worth working for them. Knew from the beggining that I would be ripped off, was told by too many people, but thought that I would give them a try and see if what I heard was true. Found out it was ALL true!

Michah was going to be termed the day he quit SBG Digital for poor quality. He was origionally owed $1200 that was paid in its entirity, however due to his poor quality of workmanship I had to pay other people to bring his sloppy jobs up to specifications. This should have been charged back to him and removed from his last check. SBG Digital is founded on intregrity and has never swayed from this aspect. If you are a satellite company looking for technicians you are making a grave mistake hiring Micah Terry.
