When going through paperwork for hire

add a poll to this

 

Seeing as how this person is reffering to me in this post I feel the need to add the other side of the story. The particular form they are reffering to was not actually intended to be signed by them it was simply in the batch and intended for another driver whom this exact thing had already been discussed and agreed upon. Had they called me (considering I told them my phone is ALWAYS on) I would have explained this, instead they chose to write "REFUSED TO SIGN" in giant letters across the form. Due to the way this was handled I foresaw many issues with this potential employee (and it appears I was correct). The MVR reimburesment ($12) has been sent out as agreed upon along with an extra $10 for the gas that was spent to meet with me. Neither of these things was required of me however I chose to do what I thought was right. The check is issued by my bank and was sent in to be processed along with my other payroll and is simply going through processing, at this point the check will probably arrive either in a day or two (around 4/16/2012) hopefully making this person realize how impatient and unprofessional they are. Judging by the fact that this post was made a mere 7 days or so after I decided not to hire this person shows a severe lack of patience and understanding of the business world. Considering the fact that MOST business pay thier bills on a monthly basis I would count myself lucky to recieve it in half that time. As for anyone that would like to take the position it is still open and you may feel free to contact me anytime via PM to discuss the position further. On a side note my other driver does not seem to have any issues with the way I choose to operate my business and in fact seems rather happy with his employment.

 

All this over a measly $12.

 

I always attach a MVR along with a copy of my medical certificate to each application I put in. I also get a MVR every year along with my FICO score and credit history. I could care less if they pay me back for it but if they do....I call it free lunch.

But really if this little paper work snafu has got you this worked up, well lets just say good luck with your driving career.

 

Well for one thing I would never sign a blank slip for deductions, that is just stupid and in most states illegal and specific on what can or will be deducted.

I have always provided my own current MVR out of pocket, any company can have the insurance carrier pull your record and some insurance companies will do it for free for the client.

I do not blame anyone for refusing to authorize unspecified deductions from my wages, common sense and experience has shown that if it is not specific they can screw your paycheck up and that will never happen ever again.
