Workforce Development

We have been going full steam ahead with our workforce development efforts. Take a look at what we've been up to....

We have attended several school career days and have several more on the schedule.

We have been getting to know our community partners like JOIN, Sierra Nevada Job Corps, JobConnect and the Community Services Agency; providing many services to assist job-seekers.

Working with groups like EDAWN and NNDA to anticipate and address our future workforce needs.

Now we need your help, tell us what your employment needs will be over the next 1-3 years. You recently received a short survey regarding this topic so please be sure to complete it and return to us. If you have any questions about our outreach efforts or would like to participate in school career days or job fairs, please contact: Pam Duxbury, Outreach Coordinator

Employment made easy.

Processing payroll is a lot more than signing checks. Accurately calculating withholdings, filing payroll-related taxes on time, and making sure you stay up to date with ever-changing regulations is very important. If done incorrectly, it can cost you.

Every year one out of three companies who file their own payroll taxes gets hit with a penalty! Our Payroll Services include:

Including compliance for Certified Payroll & Prevailing Wage
Employee inquiries, verification, payroll issues and W-2's completed
Employee real time web access to wage data (paystubs, W-2's, history, etc.)
All tax reporting and payments completed accurately and timely
Real-Time (24/7) web access to employee, project, location hours

Your BAWN membership gives you the opportunity to team up with a Professional Employer Organization (PEO). With The Applied Companies by your side, you can focus on making the right plays that grow your business.

Email Greg.Perkins@TheAppliedCompanies.com 24/7 or call him at 775.398-5138 during standard office hours Monday - Friday.
