Payroll Procedures

Please make sure your timesheet is completed both neatly and accurately. We send a copy of your timesheet to the client at your location, so please print neatly and TOTAL your hours. Unless you work on weekends, your timesheet is due no later than Friday afternoon. It is your responsibility to make sure you get paid. We recommend you keep hard copies of your weekly timesheets.

Your paycheck cannot be processed without a timesheet.
Paychecks will be mailed to your home address on Wednesday afternoon. Paychecks are available to be picked up no earlier than 8:00am Thursday morning. If you plan to pick up your paycheck, please remember to mark the "hold" box on the top right hand corner of your timesheet, otherwise your check will be mailed home as usual. If you do not arrive by Friday afternoon, we will drop your check in the mail.

Corporate attire is a must. Men should wear a shirt and tie and women are to wear skirts or a suit. You can adapt your dress code to the office environment once you have been there awhile.
