Environmental Testing Group, MI&T Mold Inspection and Testing Inc Adam Hamdi- Pacha Eric Rajchel Failure to pay for serves rendered Elmhurst Illinois

I worked for Adam Pacha and was hired by Eric Rajchel. I provide quality Inspections with little to no training or education provided by the company. I am certified in property Inspections and maintain my own small business of homes Inspections, but the mold business was new to me.

I took 2 separate classes and obtained certificates in mold, on my own accord and with my own money. They never asked to see the certificates. They provided vague and old videos on how to create reports on their app, which does not work with Samsung's, so I had to purchase an apple phone with my own money to accommodate.

They never ran a background check or inquired about previous work history. I received many positive reviews and maintained excellent customer service with over 150 clients during my 6 month contract. I quit after hitting my 18 week pregnancy mark. I offered to train a new candidate and help with the transition of finding a quality Inspector.

They had 2 jobs lined up the week I quit, both days the appointments fell on a snowy, less than 32° degree days. I would reschedule these on my own due to the code of ethics and standards of procedures I was taught during my mold certification. MI&T would schedule any job any day they could, and still charge $75 for a control sample, even when it's obsolete in that cold of temperature.

I am an independent contractor and do not have to give 2 weeks notice, and due to the lack of jobs this time of season, it wasn't really necessary. The office would with hold mileage and fail to communicate with clients calling with questions. Very unprofessional company to work FOR and to work with. They even kept my tips due to previous employees abusing the expediting process.

I am currently owed $1,281 in inspection commissions. I will be filing in small claims court with the state of Colorado and serving the company and any agents listed on the secretary of state.  They claim to be a nationwide company, but fail to have a registered agent in all the states they service. Shame shame.
