I was an employee of Trade Secret Salon in the United States (since threat of bankruptcy, previous owner Regis has sold the brand to Ontario-based Premier Salons).

After several payroll problems including late pay, shorted pay, full days being unaccounted for in the books, and pay periods being suddenly shifted without warning, I terminated my employment with the company.

Despite several requests to have my current address put in my file (something necessary for having pay sent to home or direct deposited), the salon's manager refused and now says I have no recourse since changes can only be made to current employees' files.

As of today, 3 months after I quit, I am still owed over 200 dollars in back pay. The salon's manager has refused to even accept my calls to remedy this situation. I have no way to contact her superiors.

From discussions with stylists still employed at that salon, pay problems are still happening. When the stylists complain, they are shorted hours (my schedule, following a complaint, was taken from 27 hours in a week to 9) and threatened with termination.
