Pay cuts, $0 checks for some […] custodians: Deductions whittled away at paychecks for dozens employed by GCA services

“Volusia County Schools’ recently hired custodial service has some employees seeing their pay cut by as much as $4 an hour and dozens getting up to two paychecks with net pay of $0 because of various deductions.”

“Max Madison, lead custodian at Holly Hill School, has cleaned floors at the school for more than 30 years.

But one of the biggest messes the custodian has seen since he and others began working for GCA Services Group is not in the halls or bathrooms. The transition has left many employees unhappy and unsatisfied, he said.

“It’s been a mess. A big mess,” he said in a telephone interview. “A lot of people (employees) are walking. This is affecting a lot of people.””

“School Board member Linda Cuthbert, who has been an advocate for keeping the custodians in-house, said she’s seen schools in her district that have been “neglected by GCA,” with some employees not showing up for work or quitting.

And she said there have been some roach sightings, as well.”
