      I started working for Manpower as a temporary employee working for a company called Danfoss. At the start of my employment I signed a contract that included my pay at 17$ per hour. Things were going good for 2 months and then everyone under Manpower thats working at Danfoss received a email stating that Manpower had messed up the starting pay and that they will reduce it .************* each week until it was back down to the regular pay of $16 per hour. I was okay with that since I spoke directly to *********************** and they assured me that Manpower had spoken with them about it and both parties agreed that the mistake was on Manpowers behalf. Manpower had told *********************** that they would not deduct pay that was lost on their end. Well earlier 06/07/2023 today everyone working for Manpower at Danfoss was complaining about their Paystub being $200-400$ short. My own Paystub is $238.13 short, put under ********** post tax deductions in my Paystub. Now my grievance is how is all this Legal. I signed a contract, both Danfoss and Manpower agreed that the mistake was on Manpowers end and they are doing some not so good things with peoples money.

      The onsite recruiter and Danfoss HR shared this information with associates that their checks would be affected one last time as they had been overpaid and the funds would be taken back.  There are nor never been signed contracts on Manpower or Danfoss with associates on pay rates.  This is all resolved now and their checks are no longer affected by overpayment.  Please let me know if you have any further questions.  Thank you!

      I have been contacted 4 or 5 times in the past year by ****** ***** <*******************************************> about jobs in my area. Every time, I have selected to Unsubscribe and responded asking that they not contact me further. When the emails did not stop, I went to their site, contacted support and asked that they expunge all my data from their site and email lists. This request was made in January. Today, May 1, I received an automated email stating that they will not comply with my wishes. I do not want emailed, contacted, or otherwise solicited from this company. Please confirm that my information has been expunged. Thank you.

      Manpower owes me $600. Manpower was my agency while working at GXO Logistics. In fall of 2021, Manpower was offering an attendance incentive of $200 per week if you worked your total hours. In mid-Dec, I was not paid out the attendance incentive for three weeks. I've provided proof of the hours I worked (given to me by my shift supervisor AND the operations manager at GXO) but they still have been saying that they're "looking into it". I since have accepted a permanent position at GXO Logistics and still have been given the runaround from Manpower ever since.

      The Market Manager in the ******** market  follow up regarding the missing incentive payments. He feels that the former associate is due $200.00. They will be in touch with the complainant to verify banking information.

      I am owed $600, nothing less. $200 for 3 weeks worth of attendance incentive which I was present for. Proof has been provided by my superiors, this should not be this difficult to resolve. To attempt to settle for $200 is insulting.

      Customer Answer

      Date: 06/05/2023

      Attached are the three weeks of unpaid incentive. This should be all they need. These confirm my attendance and was provided by the general manager of GXO.

      I applied at Manpower in **** on ****** back in the old days between classes at **** and Sierra ****** **** ****** 2005-2006 but it was a situation where I think employers didn't want to invest, train, make me permanent a several client sites at warehouses. Ran into supervisors and leads that didn't really like the way I looked or didn't think I was super-fast as a temp so I got the word to just pay for college when I was picked up as a temp in ****. I was told to file a lawsuit at that time.I did get an offer from Amazon in *******, WA. in 2007 but it was through another company. Looks like I was better off in Loss Prevention not fork-lift, picking, loading/unloading, other stuff that goes on at warehouse jobs. Its been a while, and that was before **** started offering 4-year bachelor's degrees. I don't feel bad about being a temp through Manpower but they never called me very much.I contacted **** again and they claimed they only have on-site, ordinary offers up there and the ********* office didn't offer me any contracts for off-site work, and by now what they call, "telemarketing" is imbarrassing. I actually caught a rep. in **** that was looking for a little begging on that. I've dumped Manpower because they don't offer off-site work that fits internships or social media contracts, including tech work that's out of my league.Its just a clarification from a rep. to go over qualifications again, although I can turn down full-time employment now because of disability. I'm not an office clerk, am not trained to work at *********** and wouldn't get picked up by the ************ It just seems like the client sites have the responsibility to train folks themselves, depending on the offer, so if there was an issue about ************************** classes (training) they can reach out to me. I explained to the ********* office I am open to temporary contracts and off-site work. I wouldn't take Manpower for contracts for less than $22/hour as a temp.

      Business Response

      Date: 03/14/2023

      This circumstance involves a banking client of Manpower that is highly regulated with federal screening requirements, specifically, credit checks. Results of these screens are delivered directly to the candidate and Manpower is thereafter notified of whether a candidate is eligible for the role sought. Manpower inadvertently launched the i9 process in error. However, this individual is still eligible for placement for other roles that does not require this sort of screening process.
