We responded to an ad on line about a Full Time Marketing Managers Position that pays by the hour plus all mileage. Well this Liberty Tax office in Melbourne Florida painted a beautiful picture on how much money that we can make. We were promoting James Burke Liberty Tax business.We would hit all the local businesses in the Palm Bay, Melbourne area. We would hit every business with donuts in the morning, pizza for lunch and cookies in the mid afternoon. We would work 10 to 12 hours per day, burning up our own fuel , which he did not pay for. We were also promissed by his company that once tax season was over that he would train all of his area markting managers to be home mortage officer. Which that was another lie of his. When pay day came around he did pay for only a couple of weeks. He did pay for most of the hours except for the last 20 hours and refused to pay for mileage. He did owe about $380.00 at that time. Once the third and fourth week came around he made up excusses in not paying. He stated to us, that he can do the job for nothing and why should he pay anybody to do a job that he and his assistant can do. We demanded to get paid and never got the last 2 final pay checks that he owed. To this day we are owed $110,740.00 and the late fee are adding up every week. The orgional amount was about $380.00 When we were given a check for half of that amount we approached Mr. Burke about the difference and we were told he was not in, that was a lie. We did finally speak to him and he ripped the check out of my hand and said you are not getting paid anything leave now. I refused and told him that he will pay what is owed or else he will be placed out of business. To this day he is still in business, but it took this long to find a website that will allow victims like us to post these complaints on line. James Burke will go in to these chat rooms and slander all of his ex employees and people all over the world who puts any complaints in against Liberty Tax. He uses the name Cosmic Zamboni and will nver use his real name. Liberty Tax Corp Offices in Virginia Beach, Va they were informed about this complaint and they claim since this liberty Tax office in Melbourne / Palm Bay Florida are owned by James Burke and not by them, there is nothing they can do about this. The labor employment agency was contacted, it took them a long time to track down this scam artist, and he denied any wrong doing. So we are informing every person out there in the Brevard County area, Melbourne, Palm Bay Florida that those Liberty Tax Offices BEWARE..They do not pay out their employees or contractors. Also as a former customer and employee they will mess up on your tax returns also. Check out all the complaints about Liberty Tax as a company on line. Liberty Tax as a company does not have a very good record. I see them folding sometime in the future. You can do what you want to , but if I were you I would not work for Liberty Tax or have my taxes done there. But again they choice is yours.
