This report is completely false and hurtful.
I worked for Dara Craft and she did many great things for me and my family. She would go out of her way to help us when we needed help, gave me time off when I needed to be with my family, and was a great person to work for.
There were a couple of very disgruntled employees that barely worked, wanted to be paid for not working, showing up late, not showing up at all and then left about the time that this was posted.
As for the check situation, I know that the company was trying to stay open and keep all of the employees. There was never only 4 employees though and the employees were always paid. Maybe this employee is speaking of one weekend that the accountant had trouble with the system and they literally withdrew cash and got it to us all within hours. Not something I was going to complain about - a small company having trouble and doing everything they could to pay me.
As far as her children, they came in to learn about the business and helped feed a printer at times or tie some bows - definitely not a sweat shop situation - just plain silliness.
Bottom line- this is obviously a disgruntled employee that decided to attack Dara personally. I guess it is going to happen if you own a business for any amount of time - Too bad though. Her kids are now of the age that they can actually Googled her name and find this after all of the years of hard work building a business. That's the reason I'm writing now. It's just sad how people can be so vindictive to someone trying to start a small business and employ them.

We did need to close this particular facility. We regret that its closure affected the employees that worked there.
