[TriEmbed] In Need of Job Advice

[Carl Nobile]

Nathan,

   1.  If a company is not doing what they promised this is a red flag.
   2. From what you wrote it seems you did work for them before a contract
   was signed? Never do that!
   3. If I remember correctly the law has limits on how long a company can
   withhold payment depending on a W2 (2 weeks) or 1099 (30 days) contract.
   Which is yours?

I just recently quit a job where I never got paid when I was promised and
they never paid the correct amount when they did pay me.

I really don't want to discourage you, but contract work can be difficult
to manage sometimes. I've had some very good contracts what always paid me
correctly and on time.

~Carl
