The Company will interview non-local applicants by telephone and make hiring commitments to qualified, eligible applicants.

Walk-in applicants whose pre-employment paperwork was completed at the time of hire must have a valid identity document when they report to work. No worker will be considered to have completed the hiring process, nor be permitted to start work, and/or occupy Company-provided housing, without completing an I-9 Form and presenting required documentation of identity and employment eligibility within the legally required time frames. Although the job holding office is not required to verify employment authorization documentation, Employer requests that the Employment Service staff apprise applicants that they will be required to provide documentary proof of work authorization to the Employer.
