Job Seeker FAQ
How do we get paid?
As an employee of J. Morrissey, it is your responsibility to arrive at an assignment each week with a J. Morrissey time card, to fill it out completely, have it signed by your supervisor, fax it, email it by the end of the workday on each Friday. Please call J. Morrissey to confirm that it was received. Failure to receive confirmation of an approved time card by the Friday deadline will result in your check being processed the following week. Note: in the event that you are scheduled to work weekends, please call J. Morrissey to let us know that your timecard will be late. In this case, we will be able to accommodate you.
When filling out your time card, please make sure that it is complete before sending it to us. It must contain your name, address, dates worked, company name and address, hours worked, weekly hours, and Client Company’s signature. Please round all hours to the nearest quarter (“.25”). For example, if you worked 30 hours and 43 minutes, round it off to 30.75.
