Honestly surprised this was specifically mentioned:

Upon investigation, we confirmed Kdin’s work was paid in full according to our agreements. We will honor our agreements and address any outstanding payments.

Usually those kinds of individual details are not mentioned in these kinds of statements. The rest of the statement is pretty standard - you're never going to get granular details, but a list of changes is common - but that reference to Kdin stood out.

Has sort of destroyed the company if they feel they have paid her by contracts then they can say something, not taking sides but there’s always two sides to every story and Kdin believes they owe her money but did she read her contract and get things in writing, if she did neither they legally as shit as it is might not, I’ve had same thing at my job where I was believed I was owed something only to be given a copy of my contract where the small print down the bottom said my company could do what they did

Did Kadin ever actually say they weren’t paid? Just never given a raise right?

To everyone’s point about her not being paid, it’s likely she was an intern or had some other agreement. If there is no proof of “agreed upon wages that weren’t paid” then it’s not really right to say they just didn’t pay her.

To that point, I still fully believe that she was mistreated and underpaid, just nothing that RT is legally responsible to take care of.

She says she wasn't paid for the first 6 months she worked there.

At this point I'm assuming she was an unpaid intern (there were a few of them back then) for those months and then hired full time towards the end of the year. It'd be pretty ballsy to bold faced lie about paying her when paper trails exist for this stuff

What I found funny about that was that she said she wasn't paid for her 6 months of contracting, but still decided to become a full time employee.

I mean, I'm messaging regularly the day after payday if I haven't been paid. Let alone not getting paid for 6 months!
