I used to work for this company as well. I was an at-home provider hired on by a friend of family to care for her child with autism. My client's services were eradicated by the state in 2006, and I had attempted to continue in-center therapy with various children as a fill-in. I always submitted my paperwork on time and with correct documentation, as how the position is independently contracted. I worked about 20-30 hours a week, and one paycheck the owner and her minions told me that I had not submitted proper paperwork on time to be paid. I certainly had, and they have cameras and employees in their center that could have testified against that. I filed a claim through the Department of Labor, but lost because independent contractors have to file in court evidently, and I did not then have the money to take them to court. Also, I felt responsible for not keeping copies/records of the paperwork/timesheets I had trusted them with managing for me.
