The only way to get a raise is if Securitas re-does the contract when it expires and adjust the pay per hour per officer. Basically the contract says that the cliant will pay X amount for Y amount of time (length of contract). Part of that billing includes the pay per hour of each officer at that site. Therefore the client having already paid X amount for securitas' services are not obligated to provide any raises, and are restricted by the contract from doing so. However, if Securitas changes the rate of pay per officer and bills the client accordingly when the current contract expires, the client must approve it, and that means the client must have the "extra" amount allocated for that part of their budget, and must agree to the price difference. Securitas can certainly do that, but if the final bill is too high there is the risk that it might get rejected and Securitas could lose that job in favor of another security company with lower rates. So Securitas tends to keep the contract at the same rate each time the contract is renewed to avoid losing it. Thats why you don't get a raise each year. Thats one of the negative parts of working for a contractor, wages rarely, if ever, increase over time.

Securitas missing pay, new hires, supervision

There are some serious issues with a Securitas office in Manhattan on Broadway.
The office in New York, Manhattan may need investigation of its practices.
Wages not paid to workers, incompetent scheduling personnel, possible racism and preferential treatment given to whites/hispanics, lack of 40 hour week for many officers, no holiday pay or overtime, straight time for holidays, no backup of officers when clients complain, disregard of client directives by management.
How some in management/scheduling obtained their positions and maintain them despite client complaints needs investigation .
New hires may get position as regular guard over some Flex Officers with more time on job/site which may be due to favoritism, inside contact, racism, paying for position, etc.
Giving special attention to individuals who served in the military is alright as far as hiring is concerned but all should have the opportunity for positions of supervision and being in field as inspectors especially being that you will have to be trained anyway by the company for its and clients needs.
People who do not get paid for the work they have done need to contact the IRS, New York State and City Tax authorities so they can look into and go over hiring records and pay and tax deductions, see who was hired then did not get paid, etc.
Labor Department needs to take a good look too.
Going to company HR is a waste of time being that at the end of the day all company HR employees from the top to bottom have the company name on their paychecks so there is a realistic limit to what they can and are willing to do about many things that may need addressing.
People with issues may need to have them addressed to the offices in Europe so they know there are issues over here.
Maybe they may get results.
Getting present clients to see how management/pay issues can affect the quality of service from the guards at their site may get some assistance from the client who may threaten to cancel contracts and this in turn can cause problems for future contacts with other clients who find out about issues concerning the company.
Businesses do not want to have security on their sites bearing the name of some security company that has been found to deal badly with its officers.
Businesses have reputations and images to project and protect and do not want the public associating them with some company that deals poorly with its workers.
Go to some security company sites and you can find a listing of the clients that they serve. What client wants to have its name associated with having dealings with a problem security company.
It will say a lot about them to the clients they deal with.
Securitas like any company has profit as its bottom line and they do not want anyone or anything to inferfere with it.
If problem management is going to cause their bottom line to drop out from under them they better do something to address the matter.
Playing musical chairs, moving problem management around will not solve the problem.
Complete replacement with quality competent people is in order.
Set standards and time periods one must be on the job before one can become a full time officer not giving full time positions to persons with a few months or weeks on the job over long time experienced personnel in Flex positions.
Placing links for goverment sits that may be able to help those with pay/labor issues.

Get out of contract security. They are all the same. I worked for Securitas over 6 yrs and made it only to 11.50 an hour despite having and excellent work and attendance record. They attempted to screw me by reducing my vacation pay and trying to take my medical benefits away. They don't respect seniority. I tried hard for 3 years to leave but other jobs were paying the same. I went to college and fire safety director school. Now I'm doing inhouse security at a NYC hotel for $33 an hour with full union benefits.

As I have worked for them in the past. Had I known what they did I wouldn't have. Worked for some time. Moved to a better job. Left in good terms. went back for part time work. found out they will not rehire for any reason. stay away, run fast. Just go else where. plus your letter I have witnessed all of these practices.
So few good Security Companies out their.

Securitas hired, never worked charged for training

OEF Combat Veteran here. I dont work for this company because i was "Hired" but never even worked. I agreed to the required training which was about $102.00 even. i got fingerprints done, backround check done and aced the job interview. They set me up for the wrong orientation date and then had me wait a week to do the training. I complete the training and call them immediately. They tell me to wait for a phone call. So i do for two weeks. They called and they asked if i could work. I said of course but not Saturday (as i put on m job application). They tell me to wait again. One full month later i get a rejection notice and a collection fee for $102.00. That is just low on all ends. I fought for their freedom so they can screw people over and take up collections. I think they are as crooked as they come. They dont know if theyre going to hire or not hire someone. Tell them they go the job, reject them and try to collect on the $102.00. What low lives and a truly reprehensible company.

Well, how do you know if you "ACED" the interview? I doubt they told you. Perhaps your EGO? The fact you waited so long for them to offer you a position after having received the PRE-HIRE TRAINING that does not automatically mean you are entitled to a job, goes to show YOU LACK COMMON SENSE and you realy are not the brightest knife in the drawer. I to am a veteran from the 70's and I resent you brining in your military service into this lambchop. No stand tall or sit the f*** down, lick your wounded ego, and go forth and find a job elsewhere.

Securitas bad company

Don't work for this company.You might think it is ok at first but give it time.I worked for them and they let me go like I was trash.I worked at a Hotel that was Dangerous at times.Many drunks and some fights and some real weird people.I told the office I need backup and they said no. They are all about the place you work for and not about you at all.They called me one day and said that I call the police to much.Well to bad.If your out numbered and drunks give you a bad time I will call PD.At times there would be 300 + for a wedding and no help.So if you want to work for a company that does not give a Crap about you then this is it...Your just a piece of meat to them...Read about what happened in Kauai Airport and a Securitas Guard it is funny...That's LIHUE AIRPORT KAUAI...I am sure it was not the guards fault to kick people out of the airport when it was closed...Try getting paid if you have to stay and do overtime due to heavy rains and storm...The office would just laugh at you...

Here is why Securitas is a bad company to work for. Kieser hospital in Riverside on magnolia ave has a security female officer driving around the property in her blue twhen she is off duty. Anna the supervisor know about this and does nothing about it. Is this person stalking the nurses, also we should not forget about Dan who cared more about his ego than the nurses safety. The hire up's in the office do not know about any of this, because there own officers are not smart enough to report anything. There is employee harassment going on with Securitas security officers. That is why the Securitas keeps hiring and firing. Nice work Securitas and Kieser, bunch of idiots.

Health coverage from employer is only good if you have no illnesses or injuries. I hear Securitas owns the company that is providing the health insurance for some of the employees. If so, they should be able to do better for thier people.

I am a teacher at Thomson Elementary School, District of Columbia Public Schools. I had a Protective order at the school.A security guard, named Sunceray Kelly violated this confidential information by telling another staff member at our school.When I found out about it I told the Principal, Dr.Gladys Camp .
I requested a meeting with the security guard, my Principal and the Captain of the security guard.The security guard gave information that endangered my life when the person on the protective order came into the building two times this school year.She also told another staff member in the building and admits telling her information about us going to court and things pertaining to this protective order that had nothing to do with this other staff member.I never met the captain face to face.We did a phone conference with her because she kept making herself unavailable to meet .At the meeting I was told to sweep everything under the rug and forget about it.The security guard and the cafeteria worker who she told lied to cover her.This security guard should have been fired!
The captain (Johnson) could not answer even the simplest questions that I asked her as to What are the policies regarding the safeguarding of confidential information such as protective orders.She didn't know anything about what training the company offered for security guards or anything about discipline procedures of the security guards.How can she be in a position to supervise ? For all I know this might not have really been her Captain, it could have been her friend or relative.However, I was told to just let it go, forget about it but I can't and I won't until I know that this guard receives the discipline that she deserves!
This behavior is unprofessional! It is unacceptable ! This is not high quality! It is the complete opposite.I want this further investigated.

Securitas - steal from employees

This company fn sucks! They steal from their employees in Hawaii. When your annual vacation check is due, they don't send you one unless you COMPLAIN to them. I've worked for this company in Hawaii for over 5 years and they don't send out our checks until you pay them. You know whats even more jacked up about this company? I personally gurantee they do...

Securitas personal hygiene/laziness

Has any one ever filed a complaint for another personal hygiene? We have an officer that reeks of odor. He smells like dog piss with a mouth full of nasty tobacco. We have tried for over a year to have our supervisor (S) get this man to clean up and smell like a human being. We even gave a statement to these a-holes and still nothing. They just think he's the best they have ever seen. Well they don't work with him. You try being in the same office and his odor is so bad that one can get physically sick. And when you leave you take his odor home with you. Our supervisor do not care how bad it is for us to work along side with this nasty person!
Another thing about this officer is that he is the laziest person ever. He does absoultley nothing! Does he do his monthly testing on the building fire system (Nope). Hasn't since june of 2011. It took one of the building's employees to point out one of the fire extinguishers needed to be taken in and reserviced. If he did his monthly check he would of found it not the client. He has no proof that he does his monthly testing and if he says he does he's lying through his teeth. It's to where the first shift office has decided not to do their monthly testing as of the first of this year. Why should she? He's gotten away with not doing his testing going on nine months. No ones called or checked on either one of the officers about their monthly testing.
He smokes on the client's property and gets away with it. He uses the company's trucks as him own personal chauffer. When every time he gets dropped at work he has the second shift supervisor pick him up 10 to 15 minutes before his shift ends to come pick him up and take him home. Now if they are doing that for him they should do it for every one! If not then take the bus or call a taxi but not the second shift supervisor.
We are tired of having to deal with this for over a year and nothing being done. May be seeing this will change things but probably not.

Securitas I want my break

So after working a year and a half, I finally get a break. Apart from eating at my post, I am still by law to receive two uninterrupted 15 minute breaks! For one I'm the only guard that wasn't scared to complain to HR. Well he gave me a break a week straight then stopped. Now he comes sometimes and its mostly at 2:45, I get off at 3pm. Attitudes about whats owed to me when he isn't doing crap any way! Do not work for this company because they don't care. We are hired by an HOA & this ### thinks he is one of them. I hungry, tired and this shouldn't be when I do the job

Securitas fired for no reason

I worked for this company for years and was fired because they said that I abandoned my post which was such a lie...They knew weeks ahead of time that I would not be working this night in question...And I knew the guard that replaced me that night...He said he was asked 4 nights before that if he could fill in for me that I would not be there...How bad is this...I knew this because they did not call me that night in question saying what is wrong how come I did not show up...They have my phone numbers...And they always call if a guard is a no show...So to say I abandoned my post was such a lie and they even gave me a letter saying why I was fired...My friends said I should sue them...I am thinking about it...

Securitas horrible management

This company is goin down hill fast. They hire mangers who know nothing about law enforcement. They tell us what we need to do and they have no idea what the F**ck they are doing . It wasnt like this before, they actually had a manager who knew what the hell she was talkin about and actually worked hard for the ones who were doin the job and got rid of the ones who where making us all look bad. They fired her probably cause she was to hott. So know we got a bunch of losers who are losing accounts left and right cause of this Luke Hutsel guy who doesnt know squat about Security...

Securitas damaging reviews

I worked for this company for over five years and was terminated in June of this year. Without any verbal or written reprimands for the reasons I was terminated. In my estimation I was terminated as a retaliation due to here say. But my complaint is not that I was terminated but that my previous supervisor is giving potential employers damaging reviews and giving her opinion on whether they should hire me or not. (Quote) Pamela Skelly, hiring him would be a big mistake. Is this legal? And is there any thing I can to stop this attack on my person?

I just read this complaint about this company. to begin, I am hoping that this web admin will hold true to their promise and protect our identities as we communicate or post our grivenances here. I am hoping that our IP addresses are not provided to anyone, where the company will "put some time between" this post and their intent to fire based on the contents of such. a note to the web admins...they really will fire people based on this ###! all of that said, I do understand what you mean about the supervisors. These indivudals are NOT college graduates and only have internal training which is presented at grade school level, replete with child like pictures and annimations to help the view understand. this company is not EOE or EEOC with promotions..Yeah, they will hire you, but you WONT get promoted! this company is much like walmart with their internal politics...they just dont give a darn! people are mismannaged...you have supervisors using street knowledge to manage and prove violations against employees. Employees dont know whats going on until its time to be fired...they post memos and have written policies that you cant copy or take a copy of the memos off their specific locations, where the supervisors will change the memo content when complaints about them are communicated, but wont mark the memo an update, amendment or other indications that this memo is not the original. so what hapens, the employee LOOKS like a liar based on the abusive practices of supervisors. the upper managers, such as branch managers like to play the I didnt know game, indicating that they have a lot of work to do...sounds to me that what the branch managers are REALLY saying is that "I cant handle my position..." what is their purpose for management or supervision. Employees of this company are prohibited from shopping, or other wise contacting companys that this company patrols...that limits employees to basically being in a box! the company will fire you for telling any of this informaiton!

Securitas management

Never agree or sing up to be a flex officer with this company. Managers will be demanding with you, they say I need you at with site information. Also if you don't respond to their fist text message they will send you another text message with ? all in one minute. These managers also do not like to respond to emails or text messages unless it is to their benefit. They will tell you one thing and do the opposite. With Securitas once yous a Flex Officer you stay a Flex Officer. If you ask to be removed from the flex program don't hold your breath and expect to wait months to get a response if you even get one.
Avoid working for Securitas if you can.

I have to totally agree, I been with the company 6 months get sent to a site for 8.15 an hour and then for a raise they give me a dime, but I try to ask for a transfer well I get started on my training and they meaning ### Ross calls and says I'm bin sent back to the ### hole... WORST H.R. Personnel ever. Also I get tired of callin and hearin the same ### from Melanie. Either they r not in the office, on the other line or in a meeting, takes them 2 ###ING WEEKS to return a phone call.

Securitas med. insurance they offer

The health insurance that Securitas offerd sucks suck sucks .DONT SIGN UP FOR Aenta Ins. Securitas takes money out off every check for Aenta Ins. but when its time to use the insurance you may as well pay to go to the doctor out of your ouwn pocket. I've paid $130 a mth. for the last 3yrs, I tried to get my teeth fixed and all Aenta would cover was half on my teeth to be cleaned and I had to pay the remaining balance I still dont have my teeth fixed because i would have to pay $1000 out of my pocket to get the work started. Back in Oct.2010.March2011 I went to emergancy, Aenta only paid $100 towards $2700 balance now I have to pay this bill out off my own pocket. I tried to cancel my insurance with Aenta back in Jan.2011 they told me I can't cancel I have to wait until Nov2011. So Aenta takes $130 out my check and I stil have to pay the $2700 out off my pocket. DO NOT GET THE AENTA INS. THAT SECURITAS OFFERS

Securitas hire and never started working

I was hired for a job I did all the necessary procedures, had orientation and received uniforms. I was told they are waiting for a drug test Two months later im still waiting on a job. I had three interviews they lied about the pay and hours. I only heard from them once I wrote a email that I filed a compliant and spoke with my lawyer.

Securitas human resources

The human resources department is the worst i have ever seen. After going down for an interview, they tell you that the are hiring and they dont bother calling you back, even if you have a security license.

Los Angeles County Olive View Medical - UCLA Center.

Securitas Code of Conduct : Integrity, Vigilance, Helpfulness

Alleged False Accusations:
Graveyard Shift, 10:00 PM to 6:30 AM - A Security Guard read an exaggerated Sexual Harassment Complaint against a fellow Security Guard filed with the Human Resources and the Los Angeles County Police Department by a Servicon maintenance employee from the graveyard shift. The Post Commander or Supervisor removed the guard stating it was orders from the Los Angeles County Police Department.

Night Shift, 2PM to 10:30 PM - A Security Guard was suspended after being accused of stealing andwhile at Olive View then fired even though the charge was cleared.

Morning Shift, 6 AM - 2:30 PM - A Security Guard received a termination of employment via United Parcel Service after being accused of sleeping on ther job even with all around surveillance cameras.

Facts:
The manager of the Los Angeles County contract office has changed location from the Mid-Wilshire possibly to a branch in the San Fernando Valley.

No documented information nor witnesses to prove the claims of sexual harassment, work place hostility.

Potential witnesses against the Contract Manager, Area Human Resources Manager, Post Commander ended being relocated to prevent depositions.

The Contract Manager and Area Human Resources Manager changed and they have a different Area Human Resources Manager as of 2010.

Witnesses who worked with the Security Guard accuse of theft are not there.

Those who worked with the Security Guard fired on the accusation of sleeping on the job are not there.

The Contract Manager and Area Human Resources Manager breached the contract as they did not allow for arbitration to happen

Arbitration is in the the employment contract.

Claims of havings orders from a law enforcement agency without documents is a felony.

As of 2010 the Los Angeles County Police Department was dissolved with the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department taking over in June 2010.

Many to include had complained their wages went down mainly because of the Los Angeles County Contract Manager.

Securitas branch managers!

Im pissed and had it with the sorry ### Management at this office in Ohio, the management is a joke! We have Two branch Managers that dont know what the ### they are doing and this office is going down hill and fast. Very high turn over rate new supervisors every week ###ed up paychecks all the time. I cant count on my fingers how many HR people and payroll people I seen fired or quit. The two infamous Branch Managers (Rodney Armstrong) and (Rodney Fleming) are running this office into the ground and making the company look bad. There is alot of things wrong with this office Racism, Sexual Harassment, Unsafe working conditions, and discrimination against people with Disabilities. To these two Branch managers your just abody to cover one of there sites, its amazing how they keep sites and still get new ones!
