Employee Referrals
| |
New way to earn money adds up fast!
At the Company Annual Meeting - a new program to help all Becky's employees earn bonuses was unveiled. With each referral each employee sends to Becky's Pet Care that signs up for service - You receive $20 in your next paycheck. It's that easy - and to sweeten the deal - your referral receives $20 off their first service - so it's a win-win for all involves. Specific benefits of the program include:
-Hands-on way for you to build a client base in your area
-Tools to help you promote the discount and your referral - to make your marketing job easy and your paycheck bigger!
-Specific code to track your referrals - EMP followed by your employee number
Full details are in the Meeting Wrap-up which includes flyers, emails and attachments for you to use to help promote your code.
Contact Johna with questions.

"The Scoop" from Becky
 | | Becky and Kate |
The fun holidays are almost here! This is definitely one of the busiest times of the year for us. With new clients coming aboard and our long time friends waiting for their favorite pet sitter, this is a perfect time to make some extra money! But please remember to be safe during this busy time of the year. And as we near the end of another year, I would like to wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season! Thank you so much for all that you do!
Thank you!

Human Resources Updates
|
Congratulations Kay Beim!!! Kay received a $25 gas card for her favorite gas station for being the first PCP to submit the correct answers to last month's 10 questions from the manuals.
She emailed her answer 35 minutes after receiving the November 8th Employee Newsletter. "Every day around 9 am, I check my emails and my daily schedule to prepare for my day. And of course I check off my visits on Bluewave. I saw the Employee Newsletter & thought this will be easy. I opened my electronic copies of the Pet Care Procedures and the Employee Handbook and looked up the answers and copied/pasted the answers." Keep your eyes open for future opportunities to earn a $25 gas card to your favorite gas station.
W-2 STATEMENTS FOR YOUR INCOME TAX:
It's hard to believe that next month is 2011 and we will begin preparing to do our incomes taxes. Please make sure the office has your correct mailing address so we can send you your W-2 statement next month. Your payroll checks and W-2 forms do not come from your address entered in Bluewave. If you're not sure, call or email Johna to check the address we have on file for you. If we don't have your current address, we'll have you sign a new payroll form with your updated information.
PAY CHECK STUBS:Please keep your pay check stubs in a safe location to have when you need them for loan applications, etc. We cannot replace your paystubs.
***************************************************************************
PET CARE NEWS YOU CAN USE!
I want to bring to your attention the fact that we are receiving an unusual amount of complaints from clients who are returning to unsecured homes. Please make sure you are securing all of our clients' homes before you leave. I know we are at our busiest time of the year and everyone is in overdrive, but please take the time to double check to make sure the doors are locked before you leave. Other than that, you guys are totally awesome and keep up the great work.

Employee of the Month
Rose Kobylinski
Rose has been a member of the BPC Team for almost four years. She has always been a great employee which is why her clients and their pets love her. During the Annual Reviews this past October, Rose stood above all other employees as the only one with all her keys accounted for and marked correctly (really made Emily happy). Rose came for her review during a bad thunderstorm with heavy rain. She had all her BPC supplies including client profiles, keys, etc very neat, dry and organized in a handy plastic file box. The office staff was very impressed. Way to go Rose!

Linda Crow- "My husband and I just returned from vacation and I needed to immediately let you know how great our pet sitter, Linda was while we were away. Our older cat, Reno, had gotten sick a week before we left-and I think she took better care of him than we would have!! He looks like he's put on a little weight, which he badly needed, and our younger cat, Indy is perfectly happy too. We're so thrilled to know that we always have someone so great to rely on should we need help again-we really enjoyed reading her daily log of their activities and behavior. We love Linda-and we'll definitely be repeat customers" Meredith Rodkey |
