Employees Working for No Pay


Posted: Dec 11, 2009 02:41 PM

Dozens ofemployees at a local company work without pay for weeks. In May, WJGEnterprises in Charlotte got a four million dollar state grant toexpand and add jobs, but that growing company isn't even paying theworkers it's got. Several workers at WJG Enterprises they all saythey've been getting paid late for weeks. They say, last Friday, theyfinally got paid for the week of Thanksgiving. They have yet to receivemoney from the last two pay periods. Some say it's so bad they've hadtheir water and heat turned off because they've been unable to pay thebills.

Owner Bill Grice says all employeeswill get paid everything by the end of next week. He says his customershave been slow in paying the plastic molding company for their orders.On top of that, banks have been unwilling to give loans, so Gricehasn't had the money to pay his workers on time. Grice says his companyis still expanding and adding jobs.
