Dave Campbell, vice president of human resources and risk management at Phil Long Dealerships, says his company has received more than 100 notices on employees who are still working for them. That doesn’t count another 10-15 claims from former employees who left the Colorado Springs-based company to take other jobs but were never unemployed.
