Refuses to pay me wages earned
Saban's Car Rental in Phoenix Arizona rents sub-standard cars. I was a mechanic for them for 6 weeks. They would not allow me to make repairs to cars which I felt were necessary for the safe operation of the vehicle. They endanger consumers due to this negligent practice. They do not adhere to federal law regarding verification of an employee's legal right to work in this country, they did not even as for my picture ID or Social Security Card. After working there for 6 weeks, during which time they deducted no taxes or FICA, they presented me with an Independent Contractor's Agreement, and attempted to force me to sign it. This position does not meet the legal requirements for an Independent Contractor, as a matter of fact, according to IRS regulations, this position does not meet one single criteria for an Independent Contractor. When I was let go because I wouldn't sign the Independent Contractor Agreement, they then refused to issue me my final check. After 4 days they finally paid me a portion of the entire amount due, but they held $375 of my earnings. I have filed a claim with the Labor Board, but I want to let consumers know about Saban's unsafe repair practices.
