— Andrew Hendrixson

General Housekeeping Items:
The Holidays are coming! Time Off Request for November are due ASAP
- We expect time off request as far in advance as possible. A minimum of two weeks and three week is preferred.
- Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are installer holidays
Review your schedule twice a day – In the current climate, job schedules are changing more frequently. It’s best to check your schedule in the morning before 8am and in the evening after 6pm. Call/email coordinators with any questions regarding your schedule.
Photos: We need all installers to be more mindful of taking quality photos and taking all the photos that Cruxos asks for.
- ISV/Measure photos, pre and post demo photos, and completion photos should show all walls including the floor and the ceiling
- Completion photos should be taken once the job is entirely complete, and you have installed all accessories (including Standard Covers which should be installed 100% of the time) and you have cleaned the space trash, debris and dust.
For ISV/Measures – If you observe that a space is still under heavy construction, don’t rely on the photos alone to tell the story. Be sure to highlight that the space is incomplete and may need an additional visit in the Special Considerations section of the Space Notes on the Measure/ISV Coversheet.
There is a high volume of installations, which means you may experience longer wait times to connect with TCS Installation Services. Leave your number for a call back rather than waiting on hold. If time is of the essence, connect with your market manager.
