April 30, 2009- Albuquerque, NM-- I have received several calls and e-mails from Legit Security employees about bounced payroll checks. It is my understanding that three Legit Security Guards in Taos have filed criminal charges with the District Attorney's Office in Taos and one has pursued a complaint with the Department of Labor because he has worked for the company for 30 days without pay.
Legit's Santa Fe officers are calling with the same complaints of bounced payroll checks, unpaid wages and layoffs due to clients quitting service.
Of course, it is against NM Wage Law to issue worthless payroll checks and not immediately redeem the check plus fees. Issuing worthless checks hurts the employee and their families. Issuing worthless checks and non-payment of wages is cause for immediate revocation of Legit's security company license.
Employees who have received worthless checks should contact your local district attorney and the Private Investigator Board to report these violations of law- 505-476-4909. This isn't the first time that Legit has issued many worthless checks. Don't work for free and without pay. Unemployment pays 66% of your pay and you can collect this amount while you find a job with a company that takes its responsibilities seriously...
Contact me with your information concerning lost wages, worthless checks and unpaid wages. I will forward your information to the right people. robb@callsummit.com
Good Luck!
I am one of at least 3 guards who have more than 6 bounced checks. We all took them to the DA's office so that the owners of Legit can face criminal charges. These guys are lying crooks who use good people to so that they can steal money.
