Ride Medical Possible Fraud and Breech of Contract Woodland Hills California
I went to work for Ride Medical in April of this year. After driving for 5 weeks, I decided to stop and see if I would be paid. They promise a lot of money in their hiring process but you will never see any of it. I put over 2000 miles on my car during those 5 weeks and here I sit 4 months later and have not seen one penny. I have called numerous times and get the same answers that Ride Medical hasn't been paid. During my 5 weeks, I did some private injury transports which were supposed to be paid as a flat fee. I haven't seen any of that money either. I have asked to see their billing but Geraldine said the the information is not available. They owe me about $5000.00 dollars according to my ride slips. If they are hiring people, knowing that they aren't going to pay them, that is fraud. I would be willing to talk to an attorney to help me get this matter resolved. Don't drive for this company. Thank you for reading this report!

I am the original author of the report above and I wish to update everyone. I have an appointment with the California Labor Standards Enforcement on February 4, 2014. I am going to request a ruling as to the fact if I am an employee or independent contractor. If I am ruled an independent contractor, the meeting will be short as they have no jurisdiction over my case. If I am an employee, they will go after Ride Medical and Ross Barr for wages due. Wish me luck.

Here is what you can do to fight back:
#1. File a claim with the California Department of Labor Standards for unpaid wages:
dir.ca.gov/dlse/dlseWagesAndHours.html
#2. You were not an "Independent Contractor." You were an employee. The IC claim is a lie. File a tax fraud report with the California Employment Development Department. There's a hotline but filing the on-line form is best:

#3. If you suspect Workers Compensation Insurance fraud, let the authorities know!

Good luck!
