​PJD Employee Coronavirus Protocol

At PJD, the health and safety of our employees, their families and our customers is always our priority. During this challenging time, PJD’s goal is to be here for you and to help you navigate thru the known stress and the uncertainty. 
 
We strongly encourage all employees to protect themselves and others by continuing to follow CDC and healthcare expert's recommendations to combat the transmission of the virus. These precautions include:  
 
PREVENTING THE SPREAD OF DISEASE IN AND OUT OF THE WORKPLACE 
 
The best preventative measures against this virus include: 

• Washing your hands OFTEN with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use hand sanitizer that is at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.  
• Avoid close contact with people; especially groups and those who are high risk or may be sick. 
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. 
• Stay home if you are sick. 
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, be sure to throw the tissue in the trash immediately. 
• Wipe down surfaces with approved antiviral wipes and cleaners.
• PJD has masks available and asks that all workers consider wearing them.    

 
SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19, THE CORONAVIRUS
Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure: 

• Fever (100.4° F and higher)

IF YOU ARE SICK 
Notify your supervisor if you are sick with COVID19 or suspect you are infected and stay home if you are sick. You should not share personal household items with anyone. Be sure to clean all “high-touch” surfaces in your home. 
 
It is critical that you seek medical care. Here's how: 
 
Whether you have or have not signed up for Redirect Health, they will help you and your family members. Just mention that you work with Paul Johnson Drywall when you call or text Redirect Health at 888-407-7928 or use the app when you are feeling ill. 
 
Redirect will help instruct and guide you through all next steps. Most times this will only require a short phone call.

And, if you ever need to move through our system faster or feel you need some special expertise or help, then www.redirecthealth.com/extrahelp is the place to go.

Our Crews 

We pride ourselves on having the most professional crews in the state. Our crews allow us to deliver clients unparalleled on-time delivery in the safest manner, and as a result of these high expectations, we consistently pay our crews the highest wages. We’re committed to raising the bar for our trade and the related industry.” 

-Cole Johnson, President
​ 

Our people make us who we are.  We recognize and appreciate our dedicated workforce and encourage the fundamentals of service, integrity and trust.  With continuous training and supervision combined with our comprehensive Safety Program, we generate a lasting and positive impression with each customer. 

Because we truly value skilled crews, we maintain the best crews and are known as a top-paying industry contractor in Arizona, typically exceeding prevailing wage in all categories. This is why Paul Johnson Drywall (PJD) employs the most professional crews in Arizona. We believe this is a competitive advantage that is shared by our customers. 

To further help our crews, and hire more of the best, we’ve launched a few important initiatives: 

Employee Benefits
PJD strives to provide the most robust training and employee benefits program in the industry to every employee, including our craft workers. As a result of consulting with our partners and employees, PJD developed an employee benefits program that offers the following:

• Paid time-off, which is accrued starting on the first day of employment;
• Healthcare and supplemental benefits for employees and their families starting the first day of employment;  
• Home-buying assistance;
• Career and professional advancement training;
• Education program reimbursement;
• Paying top-wages in the industry, which typically exceeds prevailing wages in all categories; and
• Bonus participation.

Department of Labor Collaboration
PJD has worked collaboratively with the Department of Labor to ensure that its classification of every employee and crew member as a W-2 employee meets the most stringent FLSA compliance standards. Our Overtime Policy is available in English and Español.

IMAGE Certification 
Recently, PJD initiated discussions with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to become eligible for IMAGE Certification. The IMAGE program was developed to build cooperative relationships that strengthen hiring practices and encourage compliance through outreach, education and partnership. 

Employee Appreciation
At PJD, we love to celebrate our employees! Our employee appreciation events are a great way to say "Thank you" to our remarkable crews, administrative staff and team leaders. We host celebratory lunches where new safety gear, shirts, hats and new extension cords are given out. We also have a raffle where our people win great gifts! This is just one of the ways we say "Thank you" to our great team. If you're looking for a great place to work, where you are appreciated and part of building a successful team, please apply here.
