Can't work for a facility like this.....

[TXdarling]

Hi all,

Wondering if I should give a two weeks notice being PRN, but here's the kicker,

I have worked a month at this facility with no pre-employment paper work getting done, no information filled out to get paid, no drug test, etc etc....so it's like I am not even employed. During my interview I was told that Id be working the same hours as the nurse that is out on leave for 6 months but 2 weeks later my hours were cut from 40+ to a "we will call you when we need you." I have been called in once to work and it wasn't even for the same provider that hired me. I agreed to work and it's been over a week since then and no one has called to get the ball rolling on pay, paper work or anything. When I call HR to ask it's always, "We will get it done as soon as next week, we're just waiting on your time card." Well next week has turned into a month and still nothing after yet another call today. I was always told that my performance there was great and that I was a fast learner, so Im sure thats not the issue. I just can't continue to work for procrastinators that could care less about me working without being compensated in a timely manner, and one that does not stand true to their word in knowing that I had another PRN position that I could have taken but refused it because they gave the better deal. Not sure what to do or how to approach the subject with them. Any suggestions?

I'd move on.

Well it doesn't seem like you're working for them anymore, so you may as well just move on.

Any suggestions?

Call your state's labor board and report this workplace. Have specific dates, times, and hours worked. I do not work unless I know I will be paid for whatever services I am rendering, and neither should you.

Move on as soon as possible and don't worry about giving notice after the way they've messed you over. Hope your next job experience is better

I would nicely say, I need you to cut me a check by 4pm today. If they try to fast talk you, say can you do it or not. Do you work for free well neither do I. I need a check by 4 pm today. Stand your ground but don't be rude about it.

If you don't have a check by 4 pm, file a wage claim online, file online for unemployment immediately and call that other prn job.
