J.L. Wilson Co. Dba Suntan Supply Warning: Working for Suntan Supply is hazardous to you and your family's health! Avon Ohio

Overtime on separate check that must have been nice. They pay only straight time. Many 80 hr weeks no overtime paid!!!!! They have the most dysfunctionall crew ever. Starts at the top Marty one of the owners who is trying to supplement income thru ebay since he can't run suntan supply like he couldn't keep his construction company. Thank God for family money or he would be on the unemployment line. Human resource mgr Terry is married to Marty's sister. So who do you thinks best interest he has at hand? Marty that's who not the employees. There service department is a joke. I watched them turn hour meters back and replace with different ones.

Theye have service techs with suspended license drive there vehicles(I personally know two drivers) these vehicles by the way are death traps which is a joke around the front office. Marty claims how great they are lol. Besides being mechanically unsafe their box trucks lift gates don't even fit tanning beds. But I guess that's ok because half the time they didn't work. They do quote body work on beds in the open with different epoxys and spray paint in enclosed building. U can't get down isles in warehouse because there is junk everywhere!

There service crew has one great tech the rest of them are jokes. First u have there veteran who was pulled off the road for damage to everything he touched. He was very proud to tell u about his drug problems and how much money he puts up his nose (everyone knows there also) Again he drives a fork lift there. I think I will stop there. I know so much more about suntan supply and sun walls but will leave that for proper authorities. I have contacted attorney about there no over time pay. Should have a update in a week or so on that. Thanks for your time Thank God I don't work there anymore.

I worked for this company as well and know first hand that the previous report is completely true! There are two other facts the first person failed to mention. One is that this company would pay employees thier regular paycheck through a legitimate payroll company for 40 hours worked per week, but any hours worked beyond that were paid through the reguar checking account as "contract" employees at the straight time rate (as previously reported). There were many people also paid exclusively as "contract" employees in this manner as well. It is illegal to pay "on file" employees in this manner and if a company pays someone who is not a regular employee then the company MUST file a 1099 form at the end of the year. These forms are to be filed with the federal government if the amount paid to an individual or contact company are over a specified amont which is dependant on the year in which the monies were paid.

None of the companies owned by J. L. WIlson has ever files a 1099 form! Trust me when I say that in thed time I worked there ALL of the "contract" people were well over these limits! There was one year when the controller (also a family member) attempted to file these forms and was completely ignored by the owner(s). The controller had gone as far as purchasing the forms and a software program to run them, but was not allowed to comply with the law!! Also, most of the "contract" people would not be considered such by the true definition of a "contract" employee via federal and state guidelines. In other words, they should all have been "on the books" as regular employees entitled to overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a given
work week.

The other item not mentioned in the first posting is that if a customer paid one of the owners in cash he would NEVER turn it in to be put through on the books. He would just pocket the money! He would do this even if a legitimate invoice was generated through the computer system. He was notorious for this practice at the yearly trade show done in Pittsburgh. He would do this when customers woulld come to the facility as well. It was therefore no surprise that paychecks and other checks bounced on a regular basis!!!

The owners know what they practice is illegal, yet the continue to do these things and be very smug about it as well. All the people who work there or have ever worked there are just waiting for things to catch up to them and know it is just a matter of time until the doors are closed by the federal government!!

I would advise anyone not to do business with them or work for this company!!

We will not discuss this incident through a tabloid internet site. We will take this to a court of law.
