BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY INFORMATION: STAYING SAFE IN SUMMER HEAT
As the new school year gets underway, it is critical that a thorough Child Check is performed by every driver at the end of every route, every time. More than half of all children who have died from heatstroke inside hot vehicles did so as a result of being forgotten or left alone, and the heat inside a closed vehicle can reach potentially fatal levels within one hour.Additionally, we have instituted a mandatory Double Check policy which must be completed in all locations. The Double Check does not replace the need for a driver to perform their Child Check – it is an added precaution to help ensure that no child is left unattended on a school vehicle, especially when the risks for heatstroke and even death are significantly heightened.CHILD CHECK & STUDENT SAFETY RESOURCES+ STA: Heatstroke Deaths Are 100% Preventable

IMPORTANT EXECUTIVE UPDATE: TAX WITHHOLDING
The following information applies to U.S. employees only.
As you might be aware, on August 8, 2020, the President signed an executive order allowing for the potential deferral of a portion of an employee’s tax withholding from September 2020 through December 2020. Please note that this order is not a tax break or forgiveness, but rather a loan that the employee is
required to repay during the period from January 2021 through April 2021. During this period, employees will need to pay double tax withholdings in order to satisfy the repayment.Additionally, the executive order is complex, does not apply to all employees, has not been completely vetted and requires numerous payroll system software changes. After much discussion, and since the executive order is simply a deferral and not a forgiveness of any employee tax obligation, the Company has decided to not implement this payroll tax deferral.
