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! In our experience, some of our best Candidates are currently working and they just want to be made aware of job opportunities. If you know someone who would be a good addition to Specialized and they meet the qualifications for an existing open job, you would receive a **$100 Gift Card if you refer them for employment and they are hired!
When you have someone in mind who would be a good fit for our company, let us know by contacting Linda Wetzel via email at info@TheBestWorkWithUs.com OR call us at 724-287-8380. Please have their name, email address and phone number available. Also, please feel free to share our website www.TheBestWorkWithUs.com that includes current job opportunities.
Thank you.
** For a successful referral, they will be a new candidate to Specialized and successful in completing 90 days of employment with us.
LABOR DAY
Our office will be closed on Monday, September 7th in observation of the Labor Day Holiday. All time sheets will be due, and need approved by 9:00 am on Tuesday, September 8th. Any time sheet received after that time will be paid the following pay week. We suggest you complete your time sheet by the end of your shift on Friday, September 4th so your supervisor can approve prior to Tuesday at 9:00 am. Please check with the company that you are working at to find out if you are off on Labor Day.
TIME SHEETS
When completing your time sheet, only enter your actual hours worked on each individual day. If you did not work, please do not list any hours. For instance, with the Labor holiday, if you are not at work on Monday September 7th, that day should not show on your time sheet. You can enter in the remarks section, off Labor Day. Also, if you have an appointment or no hours for a certain day, please note that in the remarks also.
If you have any questions on this, please call Linda or Paula in our office.
