Incompetent staffing agents.
I look forward to seeing better leadership here. I felt I was not treated with respect or dignity.
Most of my complaints were about Carla. Please pay me daily or the next day per policy: 24-48 hours.

Hours
Hello my name is William Mcclamrock. I recently completed a job for Allied kitchen and bath through Peopleready.
The job was on July 8, 2025. I finished digging a trench in 1 hour. But when I was paid it wss only for 1 hour. How is this possible when it says payment for completed job is minimum of 4 hours.
The job was 38 miles and 1hr and 20 min round trip.
I was paid $12 how could anyone think that its alright to pay a human being for 1 hour. It's very upsetting.
Preferred solution: Full refund

Verified ReviewerPeopleReady doesn’t make it a priority to pay their employees
I work for PeopleReady, and I always have a problem when it comes to getting paid. I always have to call or wait a prolonged period for my pay (over 24 hrs).
The associates at the Knoxville branch are very unprofessional and utilize favoritism in their dealings with employees. I have to remind them to disperse gas funds when employees are eligible because if any employee doesn't remind them, they won't do it.
User's recommendation: Only deal with peopleready if you’re desperate for work and even then it’s still probably not worth it.

Verified ReviewerNon payment of wages
Not paid wages for 2 weeks Cerritos People Ready. Brent George implied if I remove my negative review I would get paid.
Do what I did and file an unpaid wage claim with CA Dept Industrial Relations. This will get you paid plus penalties and is the only way to hold them accountable.
User's recommendation: Stay away

Verified ReviewerMARSHAUN MILLS 4days still haven't received my funds!!! Peopleready 86dollars owed to me
Never in my life have I gone through anything like this. Especially struggling mentally and financially with six kids to feed. I'm not asking for much but to only get reimbursed what's owed to me, which is $86.69 to be exact. Working the hours I was intended to do, just to think I would be paid and be able to get milk, bread, and lunch meat for my babies. But all I got is frustrations, headaches, and a company that seems to turn a blind eye when it comes to me and mine. I just want justified solutions on how to deal with this situation while dealing with hungry kids who look up to their father for the answers. I will never work for PeopleReady and also wouldn't recommend anyone else to work for them. These past four days I have been suffering from anxiety all because I have no one to help me resolve this situation. I did my diligence; all I asked for is the same respect.

I, Marshaun Mills, worked for this company PeopleReady on the 25th of March, from 9 AM to 2 PM. It's now the 29th, four days later, and I still haven't received my money. I have six kids with no steady income, a refrigerator with no food, and a phone bill that's now past due. The payment is only $86.69; all I asked for is the money that I worked for. They are basically refusing to give me my money that I worked for. The representative/manager, Steve, is very unprofessional and made me uncomfortable to even call them. Please, can someone help me? I'm financially stressed and mentally drained from contacting PeopleReady and Cash App just to get some understanding, but it only got me nowhere. MARSHAUN MILLS

I need too get back on the app
I have not been able to work with People Ready for about 6 months now. I took a job off the People Ready app.
I've been working with the Norcross branch for like 10 years, and the Norcross branch did not have any work, so I took a job off the People Ready app. The Marietta branch did the job, but it did not have a pay card. I gave the lady my wrong account information, and I was calling her to let her know. Then, when I did give her the right account information, I worked the job five days in a row, and then when I called her back, she kicked me off the app, and I haven't been able to work since.
I have been working for People Ready for 12 years, and I need to get back on the app because I can go back to work at the Norcross branch. Waste Management said I can come back to work, but I have to get back on the app. I never had any issues as far as working; People Ready always got me good referrals and good jobs.
I just need to get back on the app so I can get back to working at my regular branch, Norcross branch, so I can get back to working at Waste Management. I need your help so I can get back on the app.
Preferred solution: Get back on app so I can work
