BUT MY SECURITY SERVICE SAYS THEY WILL GIVE ME A LETTER TO HOLD ME HARMLESS OR INDEMNIFY ME.

Well, read the story below about the guard company owner who was arrested and is facing up to 14 years in prison. The
State of Ca. is cracking down on these low life guard operators. When your guard company owners go to jail and the
State forces disgorgement on all personnel and corporate assets as in the story below how much good is that hold
harmless letter going to do your company? ANSWER=ZERO.

Please read the stories below to get an idea of the judgments and penalties in
these cases. One of the smaller builders involved has since been bankrupted.

Since the labor code changed six years ago it is very important for contractors to get a 2810 compliance form
signed and notarized before a security service begins work on a job site. This change in the labor code makes the
builder responsible for all unpaid wages and taxes if they are not paid by the security service. As most builders
know so called trailer guards are not paid for all their hours in an attempt to bid cheap. Most of these companies
only pay the security guard for half of their time and tell the guard the unpaid hours are sleep time hours or off duty
time. When the job nears completion the security guard gets a labor attorney and files suit for his unpaid wages.
(about 1,000.00 dollars per week as they are all double time hours).
