--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I live in Ohio. An employment recruiter contacted me after seeing my resume on the internet. This recruiter found a job for me with the abc company. It is temp to hire. So, technically I am an employee of the recruiter for 5 months. Then the abc company hires me directly.
The recruiter charges a fee to the abc company based on my gross wage each week.
Every Monday, I fax my time sheet to the recruiter so they can process my paycheck. My fax machine gives me a transmission confirmation so I am certain my recruiter has received my timesheet.
Here's the problem: For the FOURTH time in FIVE weeks, the recruiter has lost my time sheet. I have proof of submitting my time sheet and I deserve to be paid in a timely matter. So, here I am on a holiday weekend with only $10 to my name and no one can tell me when I will receive my paycheck. Failure to receive my wages in a timely manner is grounds for submitting my resignation.
Therefore, I terminated my employment with my recruiter. I will not continue my employment with a company that habitually loses my time sheet.
Just because my employer is irresponsible, I do not want to lose my position as Controller with the abc company. The abc company has hired me directly as of today.
I did not signed a contract with the recruiter and neither has the abc company.
My question is, does the recruiter have any legal course with me or the abc company?
Thank you for your time and assistance.
