Re: EEOC 510-2023-01519 Response – Lori Weise 

This letter shall serve as a response to Ms. Weise allegations. Ms. Weise was hired 

as a contractor and on probationary status for the first 90 days. During her 

employment, she was unable to complete simple task that was assigned to her within 

the allotted time. She was never an employee and was hired as an independent 

contractor. She called out due to COVID-19. As far as I am aware, she received her 

contracted rate pay. There was a situation in where she was not paid on-time and it 

was corrected shortly. I do recall that it was a mistake on her using our contracted 

CPA time records system and recording her time. I do not usually handle contractor’s 

pay directly. We employ a CPA firm to handle payroll. She was instructed to always 

reach out to them to confirm her hours and to make sure it was correct. 

I actually have never met Ms. Weise personally and the only photo I have of 

her was after the hiring process in which she was selected, a picture on her driver’s 

license. Ms. Weise never informed me or anyone else that I am aware of her 

disability of hearing. 

Retaliation is incorrect. Ms. Weise was never let go but chose to quite in 

breach of her contract without giving us notice. We did reduce her hours due to her 

stating that she was overwhelmed working with so many tasks from different 

attorneys.

I have attached a few things to counter her argument about pay. We have tried 

to correct any mistake but she instructed me not to contact her anymore. 

I have also attached her welcome letter when she started informing her she 

was a contractor.
