Liveops terminated my contract for profanity. I contacted customer service implying thst they must have made a mistake. They said that a message was left on a customer voicemail about "dog food " and "a husband " and I have neither. I asked them to please send the recording and they refused stating that assurance was no longer a client in their organization. I never used profanity and my contract was wrongfully terminated. I was also working for ****. I have had no resolution and it has left me in turmoil for a couple of months now. A few days prior to the termination an ARA called me and asked if I could log in and work but I was busy that day. It is an independent contractor job not a 9-5. After that i was terminated for no reason over transcripts that they probably heard on the customer's end. All I asked is for the recording or reinstate my contract.Business Response

Thank you for your message. After reviewing your agent account, your ********************** contract was terminated on 4/29/24 due to a material breach of the Liveops Independent Contractor Agreement resulting in the immediate termination of the Contractor Agreement as well as any other Contractor Agreement which Contractor may have in place with Liveops; specifically concerning the use of profanity. Per Section 2(c) of the Liveops Independent Contractor Agreement (***) the agent signed, In case of material breach of this Agreement by either party, the other party shall have the right to terminate the Agreement immediately. The following constitutes a material breach of the Independent Contractor Agreement (***) resulting in the immediate termination of this Agreement as well as any other contractor agreement which Contractor may have in place with Liveops: Using profanity.
The decision to terminate your Independent Contractor Agreement (***) was reached after a comprehensive review of the call in question by the client support and Compliance teams. The use of profanity was heard after the customers answering machine turned on, resulting in profanity being recorded on their answering machine. The review of this call was done in strict adherence with our Compliance standards,specifically concerning the confirmation of the use of profanity. Numerous call reviews were completed prior to the determination of the material breach of the *** resulting in the contract termination.
The client you were providing services for when this breach was identified is no longer in business, which limits our ability to access or playback this call recording. Due to this breach of contract after comprehensive call reviews by multiple quality and compliance teams, your contract termination will stand, and you are ineligible to contract with or provide services with Liveops in the future. All the best to you in your future endeavors.Customer Answer

I am rejecting the response because the company still failed to supply me with a recording after numerous requests. The same day that the termination occured I asked for the recording to ensure that someone made a mistake and wrongfully terminated my contract could project ***** dollars a hour combining my contracts. I have not been informed about any other material breach except for profanity that i was accused of. I want the recordings to hear something I'm being accused of that i said I never did or I want retribution for wrongful termination of my contract for all of the money I've missed and all of the money I've spent already for the establishment of those contracts. These were suppose to be concurrent contract, nothing was temporary.Business Response

Thank you for your reply message. We apologize for the delay in responding, as we wanted to thoroughly research the records made on your agent account regarding this issue, once again. After a comprehensive re-review of records by the client support, Compliance,and Legal teams, Liveops records confirm that a material breach of contract occurred, resulting in the termination of your Independent Contractor Agreement (ICA). The termination of your contract with Liveops stands.Customer Answer

I am getting a response for material breach now and I was told that my termination was for profanity. The business has continuously fail to provide me with the evidence of the material breach. I need a recording-the reason we are starting this litigation at the BBB and further if that evidence of material breach is not provided. I have and continue to disagree with the termination because it is in invalid and untruthful.Initial Complaint

Date 8/28/2024 regarding 8/26/24 *** certification class:All my elearnings were completed....except slack we had not gone over slack yet, and like I said mines was locked until this afternoon so I figured we were doing slack as a class.We were advised not to complete modules on our own, although I did complete the ones I had access to prior to class beginning on 8/26. If someone reviews the recording they will see that nothing was said about completing the slack module and that we will go over slack together in class.I wrote the support team and was denied access to the Certification Class. There's no phone number to speak with anyone, and the back and forth emails has not solved my concerns. There's no option to appeal a decision when technical issues has occurred due to content error. I was put out of the class due to technical difficulties.Business Response

Thank you for reaching out regarding your removal from a Liveops certification. Each certification has client requirements regarding live virtual learning session attendance, eLearning deadlines, and other checkpoints. If these are not completed by the time set in the clients requirements, agents will be removed from the certification due to incomplete certification requirements.
In reviewing your certification removal, you were removed for this reason; incomplete certification requirements. The certification requirements and deadlines were sent in your initial Welcome email, in subsequent eLearning reminder emails,as well as discussed in the live virtual learning sessions. I can confirm that you have been reinstated into the certification that you were removed from,with the expectation that all eLearnings and other checkpoints are completed by the deadlines set by the client.Customer Answer

Liveops Deactivated me as a contractor agent without just cause. When I attempted to gain understanding, relevance and explanation I was simply locked out. I was a great performing agent, for several years. The company has often employed moderators that were lacking in integrity. I have maintained contractor relationships ( business to business) with other vendors for over 20years. I did not file within the first year, because when I initially spoke to someone at Liveops( prior to them unjustly locking down my account,) They told me I was not allowed to since it was due to employment. I have since spoken to other friends, and people who experienced similar circumstances and found out I should have filed. Requesting my account back in good standing, with the ability to contract with the company despite some of their " shady" practices related to sales and marketing.Business Response

I applied to LiveOps from Indeed. It was a job posting for a remote working customer service agent. The recruiter reached out to me, telling me that a background check was required, and I was responsible for paying for it. This is something that isn't out of the ordinary, as I had to do the same thing in order to be a substitute teacher. After paying $25 for the background check, and waiting about 10 days, I was sent an email with my acceptance to the company. The only problem is, it's not a job. It's and independent contracting position, where there are hours of unpaid mandatory training that is required prior to accepting any open positions through companies. It's illegal to require training and not pay the employee for it, so I was upset. Then, after I paid the the fee for the background check do I find out that I'm not an employee. I'm a contractor and I can work all the hours for free as mandated by LiveOps. This company deceived me, lied to me, and took my money and will not refund it. I'm a disabled veteran, that requires a remote job, and they preyed on my disability and desperation to work. They owe me $25Business Response

First, let me thank you for your service! Many Liveops agents are also veterans, like yourself. I also want to thank you for your message regarding your Liveops application on Indeed. In reviewing your application, you did apply to be a Liveops agent, which is an independent contractor position. As an independent contractor with Liveops, you partner with Liveops under an Independent Contractor Agreement and provide services to customers on behalf of Liveops clients. Independent contractors are not Liveops employees; instead, they work for themselves as small business owners and receive a **** form at the end of the year instead of a W2 form. You can learn more about being an independent contractor with Liveops at ****************************************.
If you are interested in a Liveops employee position, I would encourage you to visit ****************************************************** view and apply for available positions. I have reopened your Liveops ************** support case and look forward to communicating with you further there to determine next steps.Initial Complaint

I signed up for this company over an year ago, paid the fee for my background, and yet, theres always an issue with getting jobs or dealing with their bogus system/facilitators. I was kicked out of a problem due to their system issue and instead of them looking more into it, I get nothing besides, oh just reapply. These companies want you to pay a fee to get no jobs and when you do, they have nobody to help you.Business Response

Earlier this week I went through the entire onboarding process, and paid for my background check only for them to terminate my contract because I was unable to log into the agent portal and they were unable to resolve the issue. Instead of explaining to me what the REAL issue was they sent me this email: Account Terminated: Material Breach of Contract] Your contract has been terminated due to a material breach of contract. Due to your breach of contract, your business is ineligible to contract with Liveops in the future. Material Breach of the Independent Contractor Agreement resulting in the immediate termination of the Contractor Agreement as well as any other Contractor Agreement which Contractor may have in place with Liveops: 5.

Hi ******,
Thank you for your message. Liveops uses a third-party security check. Looking into your account, your information did fail, causing the termination of your agent account. The third-party who conducts the security checks only provides Liveops with a pass or rejection, so we are unable to expand upon the information that caused the security fail.
After reviewing your case with the support team, we would be happy to conduct a manual document verification and if that passes, your agent account would be reinstated. If you have any questions or would like to move forward on the manual verification check, please reach out to our Talent Acquisition team by submitting a support ticket using this link: ***********************************************************************************Customer Answer
