Isn't it against the law to not pay people on their payday or is that just for regular employees? So SRI has a habit of paying their drivers (ind. contracted) late. This usually happens when we need that check the most. A few months ago, it happened when we needed to pay our gas/electric bill. This time (yes, it is LATE again) our rent is due and do not have it. In fact, if we don't pay it today we get a $50 late fee. After another 5 days... another late fee and so on, you get the picture. So, why does this place keep doing this? How can they get away with it? And can I ask them to pay my late fees?

1) The office people are lazy and have little follow through. They yell at their drivers for little or no reason and have NO idea what the heck’s going on most of the time.

2) Because the drivers aren't 'real' employees, they can screw with them all they want and not have to deal with all the employment laws.... Nice, huh?

3) No, they have no feelings for their drivers. They don't care that say gas has gone up a dollar a gallon since they priced the routes, they won't give tem anymore money because they feel the .40 they get at tax time per gallon is enough. So why would they even consider paying late fees that their stupidity and lack of professionalism caused?

The moral of the story... stay away from SRI, if you want real stability in your life money wise. They don't fricken care about anyone but themselves.
