A meeting to provide services for Jevic’s dislocated workers has been set for 2 p.m. Tuesday, May 27 at One Stop Career Center, 795 Woodlane Road, first floor conference room, in Westampton, N.J., stated a notice posted on Jevic’s Web site today.

Jevic announced May 19 it was going out of business and late the following day filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Today's posting also said that all employees are being paid for time worked. Those with direct deposit prior to May 16 had their paychecks deposited “as usual” in their bank accounts.

Employees without direct deposit who did not manually process their check last week, or if their bank held their check, are having a new check issued and will receive it next week, the site stated.

“Under the law, Jevic was forced to switch bank[s] so any check that was ‘in process’ on Monday did not get paid,” it said.

Accrued vacation will be paid out over the next six weeks, beginning with next week’s paycheck, the site stated. And, “this week and moving forward all paychecks are paper checks and will be mailed to employees’ addresses on file with human resources/payroll.”

Also, workers displaced by the Jevic closure “could be eligible for free classes at Burlington Community College,” according to the posting.

Those who need to change W-2 information can e-mail Jeanine Dunphy at dunphyj@jevic.com.
