Can I legally go after a contracting company that has delayed my start date by numerous weeks? Possibly no job?

DHI Pros — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 05:54:03 +0000

I have a signed contract stating my hourly wage and all. My start date has been changed 3 times and this last time my shift has also been changed. I am starting to think there is no job for me at this company and this company is a fraud. The stat date has been changed 3 times, I do not have in the writing the original start date or the second one. Those were done over the phone, the third one (which is most recent) was done in an email. It has been 14 working days since I should have started. I really like the company that I would be working for and like the would be job. If I did not like either, I would have gone away much sooner (around the second date change). What should I do?

DHI Pros — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:39:14 +0000

I got job offer from this company and I would like to know more of the company’s tradition and system with regards to compensation and accommodation. And I heard there are many liar companies in Saudi Arabia who doesn’t give what is written on the contract and does not provide suitable accomodation. Also, are there any racial discrimination between nationalities? I am from India and I wanted to know badly if this company is a good choice or not. Based from their wensite, I feel secured about the company but those are merely texts and company will definitely not devulge any information with regards to their business practices. Please enlighten me if i should go or not go for this company. Thanks!

Can a mortgage company keep money from a homeowners insurance settlement without paying contractor?

DHI Pros — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:39:57 +0000

I work for a contracting company and recently we changed the roof on a house that was damaged by a storm. The insurance company sent a check to pay for the work done on the roof. The check was drawn out to the owner of the house and the mortgage company, the owner told the mortgage company to keep the money from the insurance settlement to pay for his past mortgage payments and now the owner has not paid us (the contractor) and the mortgage company refuses to hand over the proceeds to us (the contractor), when the roof has been completely repaired. Is this legal?

How do you file a law suit agaist a company in a state different from yours?

DHI Pros — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 07:38:09 +0000

I hired a contracting company in Pa for a landscaping job to be done in NJ. They have failed to complete the job and I find it necessary to file a suit. How would I go about this because they are a PA company. Thanks for any insight.
Just to clarify:
The company began the job and abandoned it along with all their tools and equipment that were left at the NJ site. They will not return phone calls etc.
