Thanks for fighting through the heat, the rain and the mud. Please take note of the following important messages: Nearly all of you are yet to receive a pay cheque from WR for the work that you did in NON-Pioneer fields. A WR representative will call you prior to Aug 10 with information about your final pay cheque. There will be some paper work to complete at the time of cheque pickup. For this reason, please make arrangements to pick up your cheque in person. PLEASE NOTE: Final pay-cheques will not be mailed as signatures are required. All the best for the rest of the detasseling season and for the rest of the summer. WR Management. http://www.wrdetasseling.com http://www.wrdetasseling.com/#201007028a Fri, 02 Jul 2010 11:25:00 EDT Bring on the corn!! Our first fields will begin in the Tilbury area the week of July 5th. Please wait for your phone call from Megan or Peggy to begin! The rest of the WR Crews will begin sometime between July 12 to 15.
