I was hired by a brokerage company that started their own insurance group as a CSR in October. I had zero experience in the field, in fact I didn’t even understand the insurance I had. But I’m really good with people and at the time I thought they saw something in me. I was picking up on everything quickly and never heard a single negative comment about my performance. They wanted me to get licensed within 90 days of being hired. Didn’t think it was going to be a problem but being 40 there was some time between now and the last time I had to study for something. Plus there were the holidays and I had a little bug all in that time (not making excuses, just laying out the facts)… oh and because they paid on the first and fifteenth, I had to wait for a month before my first check so I was doing instacart after work and on the weekends every day, sometimes in the morning so I didn’t completely drown. So I didn’t study as much as I wish I could have. Took the test once early December, didn’t pass… no big deal I was told, a lot of people don’t pass the first time. Didn’t pass the second time in early January but only barely. I rescheduled the exam just a few days later. That was a Thursday. The next day they told me they were letting me go to get someone with a license. It was very disheartening. Anyway, they offered me two weeks pay to sign something saying I wouldn’t seek unemployment, return company property, and not bad talk them.

Well, they only paid me for the two weeks in January that I worked, nothing extra like they promised, and I also was supposed to get $200 health insurance reimbursement for the last two months that they haven’t paid me. They said it would all be paid today in the letter. I contacted the owner who said they would speak to payroll.

Hope long should I wait to hear something from them? Will I have any recourse if they don’t hold up their end and how long do I have to give them to make it right?
