What is the name of your state? Georgia
I have been working from home since last October or November doing telesales. The company I worked for (past tense - get to that in a second) never puts anything in writing. They told me if I worked from home they'd pay for my phone and cable modem. In February after continually not getting reimbursed for the cable modem I had a talk with them and pushed hard for reimbursement. They finally reluctantly agreed that they should of reimbursed me the $45 per month for the cable modem and started reimbursing me. I never did get the money they should of paid me for that reimbursement. I moved from North Carolina (where the company is located) to Georgia in April (as I work from home I can do this from anywhere). Between the move and the fact that they didn't forward my phone to the appropriate number I couldn't do any work for almost a month. By the time I got back up and running again I hadn't even made half my quota for 2 months straight. They gave me a call on May 30th and said that it wasn't working out since I hadn't made my quota for 2 months straight. As things with this particular company hadn't been good for quite a few months (lots of promises to myself and customers that I never seen happen) I agreed that it was best for us to go separate ways. With all that said, I am now without a job and facing having to pay for 2 months worth of phone bills as they are now ignoring my request to be reimbursed for the charges. I used this phone 100% for work. The amount of the 2 bills is probably going to be a little over $200 so it's not like it's going to break the bank but it's the point of having to pay for something that they agreed to pay. I also don't like the idea of having to pay it now that I'm unemployed. Do I have any recourse other than paying it myself and chalking it up to experience?
