  3. How do you all feel about a national company asking for drug testing and background checks for your employees?  Complete with

    • A background portion (criminal, sex offender, terrorist watch list), driving record and credit report.  This check is looking for felonies, violent and trust based crimes

    • Drug testing- standard 5-panel

    We always do a driver license check, all our drivers are on the random drug testing program but I feel really uncomfortable with giving personal information to another company.  Am I over reacting?

  6. In Washington State the employment security dept has a thing called Shared work - if the employer will continue to pay benefits (we pay medical/dental) and sign up for the Shared work project, the employees can file for unemployment without having to look for work, they just report what hours they did work and EmpSec will pay the balance to make up 40 hours.  They pay about 75% of the employees pay but it's better than nothing. 

     

    We've had several larger jobs put on hold and our phones and email has slowed considerably.  The feeling in our shop is that the gov will shut everyone down next week.  We are a small shop and have no issues with "social distancing" (see our facebook page) here at work.  So far no one here has it, but since it's a sneaky virus you just don't know if you have it until you actually get ill.  And yes, I do believe it is an engineered virus, fortunately not Stephen King's SuperFlu level but dangerous none the less.

     

    Stay well and be safe!

  7. A conditional release should have some kind of wording like

    Upon receipt of payment in full, and upon said payment clearing the bank upon which it is drawn, the undersigned hereby agrees to waive and release any right to a mechanics lien, stop notice, or any right against a labor and material bond on the job.

    This covers you against their check bouncing - release is only effective after the check clears the bank.

  8. Never give a lien waiver - you can do a conditional waiver that says you won't lien a job as long as you get paid, then an unconditional waiver when you are paid.  Tell companies who insist on unconditional waivers before payment that it's extortion and completely unethical.

  9. We have a Skyhoist SX60 mounted on a 2001 Freightliner - works like a champ.  The problem is getting CDL drivers - they are almost as hard to find as sign electricians.  And the crane license.

     

    2015 Elliot L60 mounted on an International - the truck has had some issues but under warranty for the most part.  Again, needs a CDL driver and a crane license.

     

    30' Fiberglass bucket truck (Ford F450).  Works for some of the shorter/smaller stuff we do.

     

    Our biggest issue isn't with any of our trucks, but paying for the licensing requirements for the drivers/operators is killin' us.
