Carney Educational Services no pay

This is a company that provides tutoring services to disadvantaged students. They are paid by individual school district.

I was expecting my first paycheck on April 15, 2012. It was never deposited. I was able to speak with the regional director in San Diego. Endless attempts to contact people in management in Palmdale have been fruitless.

I began researching this and have come across endless complaints all of which are identical.I'm trying to plan my recourse and I think that the school district for which I tutor is the place to start

Has anyone gotten paid the money they were owed from Carney after filing a claim with the labor board and having a court hearing? I just had my court hearing last week and I'm just waiting to hear back from the labor board.

READER beware! I worked for Carney (as a Program Director) and I am here to tell you that this company not only has a bad reputation, but they are dis honest, un professional, and the laughing stock of the after-school and SES world. I have been in CA after school world for over 14 years. This is the worst company I have ever worked for, that includes fast food...lolz. All the things that I read, are the same things that Mike was saying and doing EVEN when the company had $$ and was successful. They are greedy and not truthful. I still keep in contact with many of the former employees of this company and we all agree: the sooner there is no more Carney as a company, the better off the world will be. Take it from me, I was burnt. I am glad I quit before it got to this. Thankfully I am a teacher now, but I can't tell you enough STEER CLEAR OF MIKE CARNEY! GO to the labor board and file your case and I suggest you get a lawyer, and have them send him a letter to recoup your money. If that does not work, then go to the school district to alert them of this fraudulent behavior. whatever you do, don't feel sorry for Mike. He has made lots of $$ on the backs of hard working people like yourself and off the backs of innocent children. shameful.

I actually got to sit down and talk with Mike Carney and he told me the hardships that the company is going through and I believe he was being truthful. Reason being is I got paid and I heard some others are getting paid. Slowly but they are getting paid. He said that he could have bankrupted the company and not have to pay anyone. He also told me that and I saw that the Palmdale office he has laid off most of the staff to try to stay in business and repay everybody.

Well steve you are lucky you have been paid cause I worked for a couple of months and haent been paid. I was supposed to get my first check dec of last year and so far nothing so I had to file a wage claim. I obviously worked cause I need the money and it's not fair that I don't get paid. I think I have waited long enough.

I worked for Carney for many years and I have had the issues of not getting paid on time, but I have always been paid. They are struggling like many other companies and I wouldn't file a claim possibly putting them out of business and never get paid. They have always paid, yes maybe late but they paid. I remain confident that these students we service are getting what they need in ways of great educational services by us.

Hello,

I have also been waiting for a paycheck from Carney since December 2011. It took them 3 months to tell me what the problem was and why I hadn't received my paycheck. I was told that I would soon receive my money, but it has been 2 months later and I still have heard nothing from them. If anyone knows what can be done or who I need to contact in order to speed up the process please let me know. I am a student who has bills to pay. What has Carney done with the money they were supposed to pay me?

The office of the Superintendent of Education for the State of California in Sacramento has a division for after school programming. I would advise all tutors who have not been paid yet provided tutoring services to contact them - just google California Director of Education in Sacramento and you can find the link. They will need to know what county you worked in and they take this seriously. I have already begun the process as I am also a victim of Carney Ed. Services. I have had the same experience with buying my own supplies and providing tutoring services for kids 6 days per week with out payment. Good luck and if enough people complain about this to the right authorities, they will be shut down.

Carney Educational Services Doesn't Pay Yet Very Demanding

I totally agree with the previously stated comments from fellow ex associates. Not only is this company very demanding and expect for you to do everything when and at the time they say for you to do it, but when it comes time to you getting paid for your hard earned money, there isn't any. (At least 'til they feel like paying you.) I worked for this company for 4 years and every year things just got worse. It went from "Oh, we'll send out a paper check rather than direct deposit your money tomorrow..." to "Oh, we haven't sent anything out yet, so just please bear with us.." They blame everyone that they service for not paying them on time, there are other companies out there who offer the same types of services and who in contract with the same as this company, yet they are ABLE to pay their tutors on time. If you're gonna apply for a job here, it is going to be the biggest mistake of your life. You will work so hard and expect to receive your money on time but it never will. Out of the possible 9 pay periods that you may have by working with them since the beginning of the school year, which at orientation they make it seem as a plus if you have direct deposit because your money will be there on payday morning, maybe only about 5 will be paid on time. Of course, not counting on the fact that your bank or their actual bank might refuse to cash your check because of previous insufficient funds history. So, in the end, you will get alot of headaches with no actual thanks for your hard work. Work with this company at your own risk. :)

Carney Educational Services - Doesn't pay Employees and he gets paid

Carney is a horrible company to work for. I have worked as a teacher and tutor for over 5 years and in the past year Carney has lied, cheated employees and students I tutor. Paying us late or bouncing checks has unfortunately become normal to us and the banks we go to refuse to cash the checks because of how many he's bounced. The worst part is that he get...

Carney Educational Services Payment

Do not work for this company! They keep hiring new employees and do not pay their old employees! When you try to reach anyone about your paycheck they brush you off to the next person or try to hide behind "supposed meetings." They are now over a week late on paying me with no word back on where or when I will be getting my check.

I just quit there because they didn't have my November check ready on payday, the 15th. I am going to report them to the better business bureau, the labor board, the Dept. of Education, and as many people as I can! I'm filing unemployment too since I have "good cause" to have quit my job due to lack of payment. If you are in the same predicament, PLEASE file a claim for your wages with the CA Labor Board and go file unemployment! Don't let this company have the last stab! Dissappointed.

DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY! They are always bouncing there checks it is so frustrating getting paid two weeks later then expected. Unless you don't have bills don't expect to ever get paid on time. I can't even explain how frustrated I feel.

I used to work there and it seems nothing has changed. Mr. Carney would be demanding, late on paying ALL his staff, including the directors, used funds for his own personal pleasures, and disregarded the importance of paying his staff on time. You're best off working for another company and save yourself a heachache!

I agree, I also worked for Carney Educational SVS and never got paid on time. I was constantly hoping that my checks wouln't bounce. It is a horrible feeling besides the fact that I had to beg them to please send me my paycheck.
