Direct deposit for temp payroll

Direct deposit for the payroll of our Frank’s Employment temporaries will be available as an optional service of January 1st, 2010.

If you are already an active Frank’s temporary who has recently been assigned to one of our client companies, then you should have received notice about this in a recent paycheck.  Forms are available for you to enroll.

New applicants will be invited to participate after they have been actively assigned to work at a client company and have received their first paycheck.  Forms will be provided at that time.

Payroll will now be available each week on Thursdays, no longer on Wednesdays after December 31st.  Anyone not using direct deposit may pick up their check after 10 a.m. on Thursdays.  Timeslips are still due on Mondays by 10 a.m.

Thanks to Jeanette (our bookkeeper), Craig (our president), and Dawn (our administrative receptionist) for taking the initiative to make this possible!

Unique photos for my blog

I decided to “jazz up” my blog a little bit by featuring custom photographs in the header (at the top).  I do many things well, but taking great pics is not among them!  So I have turned to my favorite amateur photographer.

The gorgeous picture of bright autumn leaves (featured in October and November) was taken by my husband, Ron, in the fall of 2008.  We were looking up through the trees in Mount St. Mary’s Park one day during lunch.  Just an amazing view!

The current wintry picture, also taken by Ron, is looking through the crab apple tree in our yard.  He took this on Monday morning – between snowfalls.  The starkness is lovely in its own way!

Thanks to Ron for taking and consenting to share these photos.  And thanks to Janet L, for asking if the original “standard” blog pic was Ron’s – it started me thinking!
