Complaint Review: United Parcel Service

I completed orientation with a popular parcel service company, with the promise to make money for the peak season, ending Decimeber 31st.  Upon completion of orientation I was told I would recieve two hours of pay at a pay rate of $15.00.  The following week, I received a call from the UPS packsage center on 11-14-2016 informing me to go to the Rathmell location to pick up my uniform.  I was contacted again the following day and instructed to meet a driver near the Whitehall area.  I continued to work for four days total.

Payday was to fall on 11-25-2016.  I contacted human resources in order to find out how to retrieve my check.  At that time I was informed that I would not receive a check because I am not a UPS employee.  This statement perplexed me, since I was contacted by the firm and told where to meet the drivers.  I patiently waited for HR representatives to resolve this matter.  I was contacted and informed that my background check would be completed by 12-01-2016. I contacted the company on the 7th, and the representive relayed that I was misinformed.

I have not received any further correspondence on the matter.  I feel as if UPS has not accounted for the fact that I was depending on that money to pay bills.  The job is laborious and warrants a comparable pay in order to incentivize potential employees.  The company has expressed an extreme negligence to me and society as a whole.  The firm contends that I cannot be paid because I am not an employee pending a background check.  UPS has used me for free labor on the premise that they erroneously deployed me.  Society has been wronged due to the fact that the company sent me out to the homes of citizens without knowing if I am fit to be in the position.
