What makes you think they are "Labor Staffing"?

It is the UNITED STATES Department of Labor calling from their office in Atlanta Georgia (this can be verified through the DOL's website).  We, too, keep getting these calls through our switchboard for our payroll department and we're all getting pretty sick and tired of the calls.  I am the receptionist and the caller - Mr. Riling (sp?) has been nice to me, although today he called and sounded pretty irritated that all he gets in our payroll person's voicemail.

Personally, they are not rude, but the calling 2X or 3X a day is annoying. The accountant is only in 2 days a week. They won't leave a message with me, but I know who they are. The acct has spoken with them & said they would not participate, but they still call. Why don't they hook up with the IRS and get statistics that way? There is a blank on your taxes that asks you for your profession, and of course your yearly salary. Bam, instant info & you don't have to ask us to do anything. Hey, why don't you PAY us $50 a month to give you figures???

Labor Staffing
not a real company

I am absolutely sick of these idiots.  They said they needed 6 months worth of data.  I gave them the six months of data, and they continue to call.  I now believe this is a joke.  What professional business continues to harrass professional companies for data that was given to them after asking?  This foolishness needs to stop, and I am purely disgusted.

I'm not sure this is actually the Dept. of Labor. When they called, the person identified themselves as being from the NM Dept. of Labor; a 404 area code is not NM. Maybe this is some university or think tank trying to get numbers? I don't know, but I do not believe they are any state's Dept. of Labor. Be careful that you're not violating people's privacy when responding to these folks.

I have been working with the dept of labor to report our monthly new hires, terms, etc. There are 5 numbers I need to come up with regarding our monthly labor. I am sure if you have experienced rude people, it is because you may being to them yourself. I have had no problem wiht them, I have worked with two or three people now, which all have been very nice. I am sure my nice contact at the dept of labor would get rude, say if I was flat out rude to her, acting as if I am annoyed she is calling and snapping at her. Who wouln't push back a bit.

Anyway, I believe the statistical reporting of these figures each month is a voluntary program for employers, which aids the DEPt of labor in calculating unemployment and such. I do this every month usually a day or two after the 12th. Its not hard to calculate the numbers, takes 10 minutes tops. Not like many of you have been in the service or anything, but you could spare 10 minutes at your job to help the dept of labor? maybe save a tax dollar,

They've called our office every day this week, at least twice a day.  We are all self employed, and tend to come in after 10:00.  The caller ID always shows them as having called a couple of times around 9:00.  No messages, though.

Donna Salinas calls our office almost everyday, usually about a dozen times because I won't answer.  Today I found out that she had been calling the cell phones of our sales team.  At that, I gave her an earful.  I'm hoping she doesn't have the audacity to continue her harassment of our employees.

They call the business phone first,  if you don't answer, they will call you home number !!!!!!.
Even after I told them that our business is dead and we have no employee to report, they still want to send me document to fill up and they are going to call me again to help me fill it out.

received a call saying they work for the US government/labor board......B

Very insistant person from the US Labor statistics asking for employee totals for certain weeks. VERY RUDE PERSON for something that is supposed to be voluntary!!!  We declined to participate since it was not manditory to supply information, but she kept calling and calling until she got the owner of the company and he decided to give her the info to shut her up!

The sad thing is this report will not show the reality of our unemployment situation in this country because they only ask about a current week number of employee's, what about the 16 that were laid off last month!!!  I guess they don't get counted

Anybody getting calls from this number?

Very Very Very rude
