Guest guest Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 I am not sure if the group is aware of this or not, but on Friday December 21, Star of Texas EMS closed it's doors of operation, much to the suprise of it's employees. I was on duty that day, and was told that afternoon to remove all of my personal belongings from the station as it was to be locked. We were not given a reason for closing, and were not informed as to when we might receive our final paychecks. Finding out now that all of the administrative telephone numbers that I had, both home and cell, have been turned off, I am wondering if we will ever be paid. Any suggestions or ideas from the group. What a lousey thing to do before Christmas. McGee, EMT-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 How can an operation shut down like this without anyone knowing about it? Who is going to run the 911 calls? Someone had to know about the shut down if they had to make other arrangements for 911 dispatch. I am not familiar with this type of operation, but it doesn't sound like it is very efficient if the citizens don't have any idea if they are going to get service or not when requested??

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Ok, but I looked at the website and it gave the impression that they were 911 unless I missed something.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Well what is the story there? That might be a red flag for future reference when working for this type of service. _____________________________________________________________ Become a Dental Assistant and earn up to $50/ hour.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Star of Texas EMS ceased to provide 911 EMS services to the city of Portland in April or May (I can't remember) of 2007. The new contract is held by Guardian EMS currently. To my knowledge, they haven't done any type of 911 service since I left the company in June of '07. I hope any former employees out here have luck in recovering their wages. Joe Percer, LP former STEMS employee > Well what is the story there?
