⚠️ Business Practice Warning: APS Pays

Executive Summary

The Facts: I provided staffing services to APS Pays - a dedicated full-time employee who worked 40 hours per week for TWO YEARS. This was not a one-time service or digital product; this was an ongoing employment relationship affecting a real person's salary and livelihood.

Despite the contract clearly requiring 30 days written notice for termination, Wayne Orkin never provided such notice. Instead, the employee continued working, attending meetings with APS Pays executives (documented via screen recordings), while Orkin filed chargebacks for services that were actively being rendered and utilized.

Analysis: Why This Matters

A Payment Processing CEO Filing Fraudulent Chargebacks - The Ultimate Irony:

Wayne Orkin runs a credit card processing company - a business built entirely on trust, proper payment handling, and ethical dispute resolution. Yet here are the facts of what occurred:

The Ethical Violation: This is not a legitimate dispute over service quality or delivery. The employee worked consistently for 2 years, attended meetings, completed assignments, and was integrated into APS Pays operations. Filing chargebacks under these circumstances - without proper contractual notice and while still utilizing the employee's services - represents a fundamental breach of business ethics.

Questions This Raises About APS Pays:

• If the CEO files fraudulent chargebacks against vendors, how does the company treat its merchant clients?
• Can a payment processor that doesn't honor its own contracts be trusted to properly handle your payments?
• What does this say about the integrity of leadership at APS Pays?
• How many other vendors or service providers has this happened to?

My Response & Defense

The facts are clear and indisputable. I have fulfilled every obligation under our staffing agreement, and the chargebacks filed by Wayne Orkin/APS Pays are without any legitimate basis.

1. Contractual Compliance - FULL ADHERENCE:

   Our contract was crystal clear: I would provide a full-time offshore employee working 40 hours per week, and APS Pays would pay the agreed monthly rate. This arrangement required 30 days written notice for termination. I provided the employee for TWO FULL YEARS without interruption. APS Pays NEVER provided the required 30-day written termination notice.

2. Service Delivery - 2 YEARS OF CONSISTENT WORK:

   The employee worked 40 hours every single week for 2 years. They attended meetings, completed assignments, collaborated with APS Pays executives, and were fully integrated into company operations. I have payment records, work logs, timesheets, deliverables, and communications documenting every aspect of this employment relationship.

3. Continued Service During Dispute - PROOF OF BAD FAITH:

   Most damning: I have screen recordings showing the employee actively participating in meetings with APS Pays executives DURING the period when Wayne Orkin was filing chargebacks. This proves they were still utilizing and benefiting from the employee's services while simultaneously disputing payment. This is the definition of bad faith.

4. No Legitimate Basis for Chargeback:

   Chargebacks are meant for situations where services weren't delivered, were fraudulent, or were significantly different from what was agreed upon. None of these apply here. The employee worked consistently for 2 years, meetings the exact specifications in our contract. APS Pays has no legitimate complaint about service quality or delivery - they simply decided they didn't want to pay anymore, violated the termination clause, and abused the chargeback system.

5. Impact on Real Employee:

   This isn't just about me as a business owner - Wayne Orkin's actions have directly affected an innocent employee's livelihood. An offshore worker who showed up every day, did their job professionally, and fulfilled their duties for 2 years is now facing salary uncertainty because a CEO decided to abuse the payment system.
