All applicants must apply directly to the employer during normal business hours of 8:00 am 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday. In-person or phone interviews will be required. Applicants must call Galen Wentz at 785-475-8578 prior to coming to the employers location to schedule an appointment.

References may be contacted by employer to verify work experience. Workers should be notified of terms, conditions and nature of employment by the local employment office prior to referral. This notification will ensure applicants are able to review all information regarding employment, make an informed decision regarding the job, and compliance with disclosure requirements in accordance with 20 CFR 655.122(q). Interstate and Intrastate candidates will be interviewed over the phone.
Compliance screens of workers will be done using the following criteria: 1) confirm availability, qualifications, ability, and willingness to perform work described in work contract/agreement and confirm intention to work the entire season, 2) confirmation of full disclosure of all terms, conditions, and nature of work/job by local employment agency, 3) local workers confirm availability of reliable daily transportation to and from the job site for the entire season. Non local workers confirm availability of transportation to job site to begin work, 4) affirmative confirmation of legal qualifications to work in the US as described below. If employer discovers a criminal conviction record or status as a registered sex offender that employer reasonably believes, consistent with current law, will impair the safety and living conditions of other workers, the employer may terminate the worker (foreign and/or domestic) with notification to OFLC and DHS in accordance with 20 CFR 655.122(n). Workers who are reasonably able to return to their residence within the same day will not be provided with housing, subsistence and transportation.
Employer will only complete the hiring process with workers who possess original identity and employment eligibility documents sufficient to complete USCIS Form I-9, as required by the Immigration Reform and Control Act. This is to ensure that the employer is only hiring workers legally entitled to work in the United States. All new hires must complete the Form I-9, as required by IRCA, prior to their first day of work. Workers that cannot provide this documentation will not be allowed to work until it is provided.
