Description
Personnel Concepts sells labor posters to small businesses. The called me numerous times insisting that if I didn't buy the labor posters I would be fined by the state of PA. They initially tried to charge me about $600 and when I told them I had no employees -- no W2s -- they said I qualified for a "made up" digital version for only $195.95 plus taxes. They invoiced me via email. I later proceeded to check on the official website of the US Department of Labor which confirmed through a digital tool that I had no such requirements. I further called the US Department of Labor to double-check, and indeed they confirmed by phone that I did not need any such posters, physical or digital. The company harassed me and stalked me over the phone trying to get me to pay them for something that by law I am not supposed to pay for.
