HOLIDAY – July 4th

Our office will be closed on Friday, July 3rd in observance of the July 4th Holiday.  Time sheets will be due as usual by Monday morning, July 6th.  We highly suggest you complete them on Thursday, July 2nd if the company you are working at has July 3rd off.  If you are working July 3rd, please complete your timesheet Friday so the person approving your time sheet will have ample time to review and approve.

 REFERRALS

Specialized is always looking for good people and you can help!  Research has shown, and our own experience supports this, new hires that come into a company through employee referrals are excellent contributors and stay with the company longer.

That is where you come in!
