NWSDS Informer Volume 2, Nov 2001
Going forward, I am going to make a great effort to keep you up to date on certain issues occurring within our organization. Please feel free to give me any input that you would like presented to the other employees as well.
Instructor Additions and Changes
With Jill Kuhns leaving the company at the end of the summer, Joe Shapiro has graciously taken over the McHenry location. Joe started with the company in October 2000 and previously worked out of the Palatine location.
I would like to welcome three new instructors that joined the company over the summer. Tim Hovanec, Zack Butler and Courtney Sullivan will be helping out with driving/classroom instruction in the Crystal Lake area.
I would also like to welcome another new instructor Marty McDonald. He recently took over the Palatine location. Marty previously taught driver education in Michigan before relocating to the Chicago area.
We also added a new evening phone representative to the company over the summer. His name is Dustin Beutlich and he is also a former NWSDS student. He is part of a crew that works in the Crystal Lake office from 4:00 – 8:00 in the evenings during the week.
Behind the Scenes
Lisa Soberg is the NWSDS phone representative during the hours of 8:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. No matter which of our locations our customers call their call is forwarded to Lisa. She has been with the company since the summer of 1997. If any of the instructors ever need information on any students or want to check in with Lisa on any other issues she is available during her above hours. She knows a lot of information about our classes and the structure of our program. She is the one person in our school that is heard but never seen. From 4:00-8:00 in the evening a rotating group takes over the phones in the Crystal Lake office for all locations.
Payroll
In order to expedite the payroll processing please be sure that all rows and columns are totaled on your payroll summary sheet. Any receipts for reimbursement should be stapled to your summary sheet. All BTW checklists should be turned in with your payroll sheet for that same payroll period.
Also, if you do your own scheduling, please be sure that I have a final copy at the end of each week to reflect any changes on your schedule.
