We were both recruited by a third party. Upon moving to california me from pennsylvania I received this bonus however have been cancelled numerous times due to low census. I am wondering if this makes the contract null. The bigger issue. Is this recruiter sent the same contract to my gf now, who moved all the way from new york. Upon coming here to california with all of her stuff shipped. They said they were switching her position from night shift to day shift and were not going to give her the sign on bonus of 5000. The recruiter recieves 12,000 for recruiting each of us. She was super screwed over even with this contract. Thank you!
