OKLAHOMA CITY — An ambulance company abruptly shut down, notifying their employees the same day.
A dozen EMS Plus employees were left with bounced paychecks, and the company owner was nowhere to be found.
“We understand things happen, but to do it in that fashion was kind of cold-hearted to us,” Jennifer Terrett, a former employee told News 9.
Officials with the Dallas-based company, which has also an office in Tulsa, said they had to close the Oklahoma City office because the managers weren’t following guidelines.
Terrett was at the end of her shift Nov. 30 when she received a text saying, “Sorry, effective at 5 p.m. we’re closed.”
“I was at work Monday; didn’t have a job Tuesday,” Terrett said.
Moreover, many of the employees hadn’t been paid for weeks, according to Terrett. She says they are waiting for answers, and for their money, but nobody is answering the phone.
