American Entertainment Production Ripoff, First Paycheck 2 weeks late, 1 paycheck bounced, last paycheck about 5 weeks late, very unreliable and uncooperative Columbus Ohio

American Entertainment Production Incorporated was a huge hassle to deal with. They are a company that hires and trains bands at certain amusement parks around the country.

My first paycheck was two weeks late. They were very inconsiderate and made little apology for the wait. Another paycheck bounce because one of their extremely ignorant secretaries screwed up some funds (intelligent).

My last paycheck which I should have gotten Saturday, August 20th, 2005, did not come to my residence until Thursday, September 22nd, 2005. When a co-worker of mine called them a few weeks before the 22nd, they said the check would be on it's way. When I called them myself on 19th of September, the owner was flustered and couldn't come up with a good excuse as to why he hadn't sent me my check yet. He mumbled to himself for a second, and said "I'll send it off now." He did not offer to overnight it. He did not apologize AT ALL to me for the extreme lateness of my check.

We have also not received our bonuses yet, which is expected, but if I do not get it by the end of October, I will take them to small claims court.
