I was hired by orkin canada in williams lake on dec 3 2015. my first pay was to be dec.

18. that pay cheque was missed because some manager screwed up on the paper work.I complained to my manager Nolan Barnes and was told they are going to courrier me a cheque I'll have it monday the 21st. the cheque was a no show. he then said tues the 22nd, i asked where is it going and he couldnt answer.the cheque was a no show.

Wed the 23rd i spoke with pat miller of payroll who said the cheque was mailed to my office in prince george bc. i explained i dont have an office i work out of my home. she said she did her best. I called the prince george office and spoke to nolan barnes again.he had not recieved my check at that time and as far as i know never has.I quit work immediately.

Nolan newman a district manager out of kelowna phoned me. he appoligized for the errors and promised to get me paid "even if it comes out of his pocket". he 'understand why payroll would mail or courier me a check when I am set up for direct deposit. he arranged for my direct deposit and originally said i would have it on the 24th.

the deposit was a no show and my bank cant even confirm the deposit was made. nolan newman appoligized and said he did his best. i phoned pat miller at the pay roll office, she had left early for christmas. this is now christmas day, I have about $30 to my name, i was able to buy a couple of small gifts for the grandchildren but nothing like what they've come to expect.

the wife and I went without this year.this company ruined my familys christmas, they have shown a compete lack of empathy. this company is the most unprofessional,disorganized mess have ever seen. pat miller has proven to me she is a minimalist at best, that is to say she will do just enough to get by. I am starting to think that is a company traight.

in the province of bc the labor laws dictate an employ cant go more than 16 days with-out pay. i will have gone 27 days or more by the time i get paid. when i get my pay you get your truck. i wish you all the very least.

I wish you all unemployment. can you imagine what kind of people and company would screw one of there own at christmas. I dare to think a company that doesn't care about it's customers.

i plan on sharing my story. you should all be ashamed and embarrassed.

Reason of review: Problems with payment.

Orkin Cons: Working for orkin, Office personel.

Location: Williams Lake, British Columbia

oh my what a mess we have here. I'm a technician as well and I do look to see what company im representing out there.

Big company and yes sometimes mistakes, but there are more ways to go about that. keep aiming higher up the ladder to talk to someone else if need be and putting in names is a little offensive it likely wasn't their fault. Or anyone's fault. just make sure your records are kept and explain it.

I had to do the same for the first week I was hired. it got missed due to a backlog of paperwork. I didn't think it was shady or anyone's fault. these are just people too, they have lots to do.

No one "screwed" you at Christmas, its just a day on the calendar.

An audit of your payroll and time hired was all you needed to ask for.

I think your "going up the ladder" is a good start but someone new may not know how to go about doing this. Christmas is the biggest holiday of the year; a time for family and I see the author's point about this.

He could not buy any gifts for his family....... I would have had much more respect for this situation if the "district manager" had taken the money out of his own pocket as he had said he would do.

Empty promises does not impress anyone. As far as the payroll person leaving early to have her Christmas without resolving the issue for this person leaves me thinking the author did the right thing in leaving.

Orkin ruined your familys Christmas????? You dont think it had anything to do with you maybe ??Look in the mirror.

I have worked for orkin for 12 years as a tech and have never had any issues and have found managers to always try their hardest for me when I require anything. It is a big busy company that has a huge payroll and sometimes things happen. I bet you the cheque is in your hands now right?

I think you made a huge mistake quitting like that. This is a awesome job that I would not just quit over a small payroll mistake......don't let the door hit you in the ***!

What would not receiving his cheque have anything to do with him! He said he had done his automatic deposit, so he had done his job!

Your comment of "To have his cheque in his hands now" did not help him at Christmas so your point makes no sense.

It may be a big company, however does it excuse laziness? Just because you have not had any problems doesn't mean others haven't and your comment of it being a mistake to quit and then state "don't let the don't hit you in the *** sounds like you are taking it more personally than someone out in the field...

Sounds like you are the kind of guy that probably have told all your Orkin buddies you've "gave this guy a piece of your mind". *** kisser!

This reply is just plain ***! You are saying he was at fault for this company's incompetence?

This truly sounds to me a cover up from a manager that was mentioned in the letter?

Does the truth really hurt that much? No mention of a apology for THERE mistake and at Christmas as well. There remark is oh well?? WHAT??

Like every large company's true leadership starts from the top on down,so maybe start looking at blame there,not the poor guy grunting and doing the true work in the field,and being just new any slack for this guy?

Man must be a great feeling of being perfect for the last 12 years(so you say)

And the comment of the *** and door?

Just proves that you need that same treatment then see how you feel. Right N

Best Wishes
