Dear friends,


it is really sad to see how Able is bullying many interpreters.
They do not pay us. They take their money from insurance, but they do not feel like you deserve to be paid for your services.

Many interpreters from our Korean community have stopped working for Able.

I think other interpreters need to do the same.

Many interpreters have not received their payments for many months.

While reading some of the previous comments, I noticed that Able has created a username by the name OMBUDSMAN.
There is not such a person in their organization. This person does not have any extension number etc.
If you call reception and ask them can I talk to Ombudsman, the receptionist would not even know who is OMBUDSMAN.
This person does not exists.


Able is Canadian company,but their owners are Portuguese.
Annabelle and Wilson Taxiera do not have any moral values.
They do not respect anyone,
All they care is MONEY MONEY MONEY.
They do not care about their staff, their do not care about their interpreters, they do not care about anyone except for themselves.

DEAR INTERPRETERS:

STOP TAKING THEIR ASSIGNMENTS.
SOON OR LATE, ABLE IS GOING TO LOSE ALL OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.
PLEASE DO NOT LOSE YOUR MONEY.
HAVE RESPECT TO YOURSELVES, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
WALK, SLEEP, EAT, HAVE FUN, BUT DO NOT SPEND YOUR VALUABLE TIME FOR THEM.
BECAUSE VERY SOON YOU WILL START REALIZING THAT ABLE HAS BEEN USING AND ABUSING YOUR HUMAN RIGHTS.
YOU WILL BE REGRETTING ABOUT YOUR TIME AND YOUR MONEY, BUT IT WILL BE TOO LATE.


DO NOT BE SILENT.
TRY TO TALK TO EVERYONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
WRITE YOUR COMMENTS ON MANY DIFFERENT SITES ABOUT ABLE.
IF YOU SEE A NEW INTERPRETER, TELL HIM/HER ABOUT ISSUES WITH ABLE.
TALK TO SERVICE PROVIDERS, SECRETARIES, TALK TO DOCTORS, LAWYERS AND OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE WORKING WITH ABLE.

LET THEM KNOW THAT ABLE IS MISTREATING YOU BY NOT PAYING YOUR MONEY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

DEAR FRIENDS,


PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME, YOUR GAS,YOUR MONEY,YOUR PATIENCE,YOUR NERVES ON THIS FAILURE ORGANIZATION.

YOUR HEALTH AND TIME IS MORE VALUABLE.

THIS ORGANIZATION IS ABUSING INTERPRETERS RIGHTS.


THIS AGENCY HAS A BAD HABIT OF NOT PAYING. THEY MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A BEGGAR.

THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY ANNABELLE,SHE GOES ON VACATION FOR 2-3 WEEKS,SPENDING OUR MONEY, AND NOT PAYING US.

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A VOLUNTEER JOB,THAT IS A DIFFERENT STORY..OTHERWISE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME...

THEY KEEP HIRING NEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THEIR ISSUES WITH PAYMENTS.....

GOOD COMMENTS ABOUT ABLE TRANSLATION ARE WRITTEN BY THEIR OWN TEAM.

ABLE OWES MONEY MANY AND MANY INTERPRETERS .
ABLE HAS INVESTED BIG MONEY INTO TRANSPORTATION BUSINESS,WHICH HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL FOR THEM IN THE PAST,

ALSO,THERE IS AN INFORMATION THAT ABLE IS GOING TO DECLARE BANKRUPTCY. IN THAT CASE YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET YOUR MONEY AT ALL.

KEEP CALLING,LEAVING MESSAGES,NO ONE RESPONDS..
KEEP EMAILING TO ENQUIRERS- NO ONE RESPONDS

THIS IS A COMPANY THAT HAS NO RESPECTS TO THEIR INTERPRETERS.
PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME,

RECOMMENDATIONS:

KEEP EMAILING,COMPLAINING,SPREADING THE NEWS ABOUT ABLE TRANSLATION TO ALL OTHER INTERPRETERS,WSIB, ADJUSTERS,LAWYERS, MEDICAL SERVICE EMPLOYEES,OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS ETC.
WHEN YOU GO TO ANY ASSIGNMENT REGARDLESS WITH ABLE OR OTHER AGENCY,IF YOU SEE ANOTHER INTERPRETER,TALK WITH THEM ABOUT THESE ISSUES.

IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO GIVE YOUR REAL NAME,THAT IS OK,BUT TRY TO LEAVE AS MUCH COMMENTS AND REVIEWS AS POSSIBLE.
YOU CAN GO TO THE MINISTRY OF LABOR OR SMALL COURT CLAIM.
IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE,EMAIL TO BIG COMPANIES LIKE AVIVA,INTACT,STATE FARM TD INSURANCE,WSIB AND TRY TO TALK TO SOMEONE WHO IS IN CHARGE OF BOOKING INTERPRETERS FOR THE ASSESSMENTS,
ONCE YOU FIND OUT WHO IS THAT PERSON, LET THEM KNOW ABOUT ABLE TRANSLATION ISSUES.
LEAVE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE REVIEWS ON DIFFERENT SITES,INCLUDING GOOGLE REVIEWS ABOUT ABLE TRANSLATIONS.
DO NOT TRUST YOUR COORDINATOR, THEY PRETEND TO BE INNOCENT,BUT IN REALITY THEY ARE ALSO TAKING PART IN THIS HUGE WRONG ACTIONS AGAINST INTERPRETERS. THEY COULD HAVE INFORM US ABOUT EXTRA EXTRA LATE PAYMENTS AND IN THIS CASE WE WOULD NOT TAKE THE ASSIGNMENTS.
WE NEED TO CONTACT LOCAL NEWSPAPER,RADIO OR TV STATIONS AND INFORM THEM ABOUT THIS.

SINCE THE OWNERS OF THIS AGENCY ARE PORTUGUESE PEOPLE ( ANNABELLE AND WILSON TEIXEIRA),WE NEED TO INFORM THE PORTUGUESE COMMUNITY CENTER AND PORTUGUESE CATHOLIC CHURCHES ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

JUST WANT BIG COMPANIES LIKE INTACT,AVIVA,STATE FARM,TD INSURANCE,WSIB AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO KNOW THAT ABLE TRANSLATION HAVE NOT BEEN PAYING TO THEIR INTERPRETERS FOR MANY MANY MONTHS
SOME INTERPRETERS HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEIR MONEY SINCE LAST YEAR.

INTERPRETERS JUST GAVE UP AND STOP WORKING WITH ABLE TRANSLATION

IF THE INTERPRETERS DO NOT RECEIVE PAYMENT FOR THEIR SERVICES,THEY START NOT TO CARE ABOUT THE SERVICE THAT THEY PROVIDE.

THERE ARE REALLY GOOD OTHER AGENCIES THAT PAY ON TIME TO THEIR INTERPRETERS,THAT IS WHY THEY HAVE A QUALITY INTERPRETERS
