Hello. I am an Independent Contractor with CulturaLink, a company based out of Georgia which offers Video Remote Interpretation to medical systems around the country. The company has not paid any of its contractors for the last three pay dates: November 16, 2022, December 1, 2022, and December 16, 2022. They do not respond to emails or phone messages. Reportedly, they have moved out of their offices and have left no forwarding address.
