EMPLOYEES OF THE MONTH

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, it has been a very challenging year and we are SUPER THANKFUL for ALL our awesome clients and employees.  This month we would like to say an extra special THANK YOU to a very special group of people.  Nicholas Brackett, Cathleen Neese, Debra Drushel, Janice Turner, Jade Bowers, Pasqualina Tirk, Ellen Blose, Teresa Montiel-Rasp, Heather Thompson, Thomas Smith, Mitchell Bachman and Sharon Higgins, worked tirelessly over the past six weeks processing ballots and getting things ready for and helping to wind down the November election.  This was a very important assignment, and we are incredibly proud and appreciative of everyone on the team for the long hours and hard work to get Butler County through this historical project!

The Employee of the Month is chosen based on supervisor feedback, attendance, and performance.

 

REMINDERS FOR THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY

Please read the following carefully:

Specialized will be closed Thursday, November 26th, and November 27th to observe the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Please check with the company that you are working at to find out which day/days they will be closed for Thanksgiving.  We have 24-hour voicemail, if you need to leave a message over the holiday break.  If your call is urgent, we will return it as soon as possible, if not we will call you when we return to work.

Please submit your time sheet before you leave for the Holiday.

We highly suggest that you submit your time sheet before you leave work for the Thanksgiving Holiday. 

Even though you may be working on Monday, November 30th your time sheet approver may not be, so to be on the safe side, please submit your time before you leave Wednesday for Thanksgiving especially if the place you are working is closed on Friday also.

Late time sheets will not be processed until the following week. 

When completing your timesheet, please DO NOT enter Holiday or PTO time into the daily time area but instead list the time in the Remarks area.

HOLIDAY PAY

The following can be found on the back cover of your employee handbook.  If you need a new handbook, please let us know and we can send you one.  Specialized Staffing employees are entitled to holiday pay when the company they are working for observes the holiday.  The possible eligible holidays are New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

The following requirements must be met to receive Holiday Pay:

  • Must work consecutively for 480 hours preceding the holiday.
  • Must work the scheduled day before and after the holiday.
  • Holiday pay cannot be used in calculation of overtime pay.

W-2s

Effective next year we will NO longer physically mail W2’s. We will upload all W-2’s to the Intuit Workforce website (the same site weekly paystubs are uploaded to). https://workforce.intuit.com

If you would like a paper W-2 mailed to the address on file, please request either by sending an email or calling our office.

Very important to register on the website NOW to have access to your paystubs and W-2 information.
