What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? KY
I started working for a temp agency in Louisville KY back in May. They did a background check, and all the required paperwork. They sent me to a great place to work that is really close to my home so it worked out great. It was a temp to hire position. They called me and said I needed to come in to the Temp office for a drug test before I start working at this job. I drive all the way to the office which is 10-12 miles away and they tell me they made a mistake and I didnt need to come take a drug test after all. So I drove all the way up there and back home for nothing. I worked for the same company they placed me at for 4 months without a single accident or anything so the company started the process of hiring me for them directly. Well the temp service called me the Friday before labor day and asked if I wanted to go in 4 hours early because they needed extra help. I said definitely and jumped up and went straight to work. I was there a hour and the supervisor came up to me and said there was a problem because they didnt tell the temp service they needed people that do the job I do and they sent me home. I called the temp service to find out what was going on and they appoligized for the mix up and said they would pay me the hour I was there plus compensate me for the trouble of having to drive over there and back home then turn around and go back in a few hours. Well on my next check there was no compensation like they promised. I called the office that Thursday and asked where my compensation money was and they changed their minds about paying me for going in. I argued with them for a few minutes on the phone about it, and the next day I was fired. NOW all of a sudden, 4 months later, there is something on my background report and I cant work for them anymore. After they made their money off me working and then a bonus for me staying at the same job for over 90 days they let me go. KNOWING my background check hadnt changed since the day they hired me, can they USE me like that and fire me just because I called them about something they had told me they would do?
