Payment Woes with IDC

1

Update by user Jan 02, 2019 Correction in Para #2 - They would not send payment by check, only via direct deposit. Original review posted by user Jan 02, 2019 I was contacted by IDC for a medium term (6 months) project in another state and city. Since they we not providing travel, I negotiated an all inclusive rate a bit higher to account for the expenses of travel, however they said they can only go to the higher rate if it were on Corp-to-Corp, and I agreed. 1. When I got to the customer site (at my out-of-pocket expense) I learned the project was really only about 6-8 weeks of work, not 6 months. Although pissed I was committed as I had passed on other opportunities to take this work. It was not the end company who mis-represented the work duration, but IDC. 2. When the first month of work completed (actually about 10 days since I started mid-month), I requested payment via the process IDC provided via their invoice template. I was paid fairly quickly, but they asked for my bank details, and would send the payment by check. It had to be a direct deposit, which was not spelled out in our corp-to-corp contract agreement. 3. Upon completion of the 2nd month of work, I submitted the same invoice template. IDC never acknowledged receipt. Days later I inquired, they said the did not get it, so I re-submitted via email. As the terms were net 30, I waited. Never getting a confirmation payment was in process. 4. Finally, the project ended, and I submitted my final invoice by email to the same contact who sent me the 1st payment. No response. So I escalated to my account manger at IDC, who said he would look into it. Days and weeks passed, no response. The account manager stopped accepting my calls. I tried to escalate to HR or some leadership at IDC. No contacts could be found on their web site. Big red flags started to seem obvious when you see no leadership team or contacts on the companies public website. 5. All the contacts on any thread of any email from IDC I started carpet emailing to get some feedback on my now two months of non-payments. I even included contacts at the end company who were helpful in communicating with IDC on my behalf. But still no clear confirmation of when I would get paid or if my invoices were in process. 6. Finally after more than 9 weeks since submission, I finally got paid. But it was largely only due to my persistence, not the normal workings of a company geared for success. In summary, I say buyer beware. Research the firm online, seek references from others who worked with this firm, and ask upfront who in leadership are the points of escalation for issues and problems. If those people have no phone numbers, stay away from this type firm. Mainly avoid working corp-to-corp as your protections are higher with W2 work and employment wage laws.
