Park West Contracted Auctioneers Speak Out

Article # 4
"You Can Check Out Any Time You Like, But You Can Never Leave."

Change in Policy Regarding the Hiring and Letting Go of Auctioneers


On May 7, 2009, we received the following information from an informed source.



Park West have a new policy. If you don't give them two months notice you are resigning, then you lose your reserves [the reserves are a percentage of the auctioneer's monthly paycheck which is withheld for 6 or 8 months as a security].

Most auctioneers in my day would go on vacation and never go back, but they have to now as they know that's the only way of getting their money.

It's a catch 22 really. You cant leave!
