Team members revoking our working schedule flex-time and “moving
forward” [as of 6/1/05] establishing a new schedule of 9-5 indicating
that everyone [individually] confirmed their commitment to this new
schedule. The email also indicates that it applies to all TekSystems
employees, but that any concerns can be addressed to him and
discussed. Plaintiff Mariyam Akmal was not at this time a TekSystems
employee, her services were retained as an independent contractor
and as such was governed per Washington state laws.
8. 06/02/05 – Email conversation in which plaintiff Mariyam Akmal asks
her recruiter Brian Vivaldi when payment of her first invoice can be
expected. Mr. Vivaldi indicates it should be 30 days from the time the
first invoice was submitted, but says he’ll check and that he’ll give her
a call to discuss the matter but doesn’t say on what date he will call.
9. 06/15/05 – Email originally dated 6/14/05 in which
a. Senior recruiter Brian Vivaldi states he assumes the check to pay
plaintiff Mariyam Akmal’s first invoice will be issued on June 16, but
that he will call payroll to double check.
b. Mr. Vivaldi then responds to Ms. Akmal’s indication that the new
schedule designated by Gilberto Ramirez of Cingular Wireless will
not work for her. Mr. Vivaldi indicates that the working schedule is
9-5 for now and that Ms. Akmal would be required to request a
special schedule in order to work anything outside of those stated
hours. He then asks what hours she would prefer and states he’ll
phone her later to discuss the specifics.
c. Ms. Akmal responds to Mr. Vivaldi’s reply letting him know that in
spite of being told that the new working schedule applies to all
members of the EOD team, that at 7 minutes to 10:00 a.m. team
members Ben Potter, a Cingular employee, Wendy Carroll and
Chris M, both employees of TekSystems have not yet arrived for
work.
10. 06/22/05 – Email in which:
a. Senior Recruiter Brian Vivaldi asks plaintiff Mariyam Akmal to
please complete a SQL evaluation in anticipation of possibly re-
assigning her to a different contract if the work schedule issue at
TekSystems’ client Cingular Wireless can not be resolved.
b. Mr. Vivaldi replies that her responses to the evaluation “looks
great”. He further goes on and thanks her for the “quick
turnaround” regarding getting it done and states that “having the
quIz on file will help expedite future job opportunities!”
11. 06/24/05 – Letter written on TekSystems stationary and signed by
Sandra Dea, Customer Support Supervisor indicating:
a. That TekSystems owed plaintiff Mariyam Akmal a payment as of
June 16, 2005 and that they owed her an outstanding amount of
$4400.
b. That they were going to send a check to cover this outstanding
payment via overnight delivery and that Ms. Akmal would have the
check on 6/25/05.
12. 06/27/05 - Printout of FedEx delivery record proving that TekSystems
did not deliver plaintiff’s 1st check for payment of invoices 10055 and
10056, dated 5/14/05 and 5/21/05 respectively as promised.
13. 06/27/05 – Letter given to plaintiff Mariyam Akmal by Bank of America
Vice President Tyron Christopherson indicating that plaintiff’s initial
attempt to cash the check issued by TekSystems resulted in plaintiff
being told that a stop payment had been issued on the check. It was
only at plaintiff’s insistence that they find out how and why the stop
payment had been issued when they reversed their position and
“deemed” the check good.
14. Photocopy of check #0000510898 issued in the amount of $4400.00
indicating it’s payment against invoices 10055 and 10056. The check
is dated 6/23/06 so there is no reasonable explanation for why it was
not in the TekSystems office in Bellevue, Washington on the promised
date of 6/24/06, after having missed the original payment date of
6/16/05.
15. 07/01/05 - FAX Confirmation Sheet and letter from plaintiff Mariyam
Akmal to Mr. Sean McGraw in TekSystems’ corporate offices in
Hanover, Maryland. The letter indicates:
a. Plaintiff had previously requested a copy of the Primary Agreement
between Cingular Wireless and TekSystems since language
contained in plaintiff’s Secondary Provider’s contract is based upon
items stipulated in the Primary Agreement. The applicable portions
of the Primary Agreement were never sent to plaintiff.
b. Plaintiff indicates that the manner in which she was given notice
violated her Secondary Provider agreement and that she indicated
as much to Mr. Born of TekSystems yet he failed to address the
issue. She then indicated that since no notice was given that
TekSystems in lieu of notice owed her an additional invoice
payment of $2200.00
c. Plaintiff was not pleased with the manner in which she was notified
that her services were no longer needed. She contends that such
blatant disregard for the terms of the contract by which all parties
are bound are violations of Washington state laws governing unfair
business practices, violations of which make the violator liable for
treble damages.
16. Photocopy of badge issued to plaintiff Mariyam Akmal indicating an
expiration date of 12/31/05.
17. Screenshot of Instant Message conversation window in which Gilberto
Ramirez, plaintiff’s manager at Cingular Wireless messages plaintiff
with the following statement: “are you naked on that picture????”
18. Photocopy of document submitted to Washington state department of
Employment Security in which TekSystems falsely states that plaintiff
Mariyam Akmal was terminated due to her “inability to perform the
work for which she was hired.”
