The Corporate Financial Services team, consisting of Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, Benefits, IT, and Staff Accounting, works behind the scenes to ensure details necessary for successful day-to-day operations on the project site are in order. So, what are these departments responsible for? Read on for a glimpse into the daily processes of the Corporate Financial Services team.

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE (AP)Invoices come into the Kansas City office via mail and [email protected]. Sally Miller is in charge of organizing the invoices received in the mail, alphabetically sorting the invoices into three piles. Jodi Grimes is responsible for the AP email inbox. Similar to Sally, Jodi alphabetically sorts the invoices from the AP box into three virtual mailboxes.

Sally, Susie Browning, and Sheila Malone have each been assigned one of the virtual mailboxes and piles of invoices and are responsible for entering the invoices into Spectrum within 48 business hours of the invoice being received.

After the invoices have been entered into Spectrum by AP, they are moved on for approval by project management. The invoice will be

passed from one reviewer to the next, each reviewer checking to make sure the invoice information entered into Spectrum is correct and that the invoice is a legitimate expense for Garney.

Once the final reviewer has approved the invoice, it returns to AP for confirmation. During the confirmation process, Susie or Jodi will take one final look at all invoices under $25,000 to ensure the appropriate approval has been received and that there are no errors that were missed during the approval process. For invoices over $25,000, Melia Pence, Beth Gardner, Tom Roberts, Shanene Whiteside, Meggan Krase, Colby Lammers, Jeff Lacy, and Maria Santana are paired into groups of two, and a different group is responsible for confirming these invoices each week.

On Thursday, after the confirmation process is complete, Susie and Melia cut checks for all invoices with due dates within the week. Melia is responsible for the checks that are accompanied with a special request (joint checks, Comdata payments, checks that need to be mailed via FedEx, etc.), and Susie prints all of the other checks. Checks are then mailed out on Friday and Monday, depending on the dollar amount.

Checks over $25,000 are held until Monday for final Officer review.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE (AR)Billings are turned into AR via the [email protected] inbox, which is monitored by Jere Wujcik. Once the billing is submitted to AR, Jere enters the billing into Spectrum.

Maria Santana and Shanene Whiteside monitor cash deposits and wire transfers as they are received from Owners and Engineers. As payments come in, Maria and Shanene book cash receipts into Spectrum to show the billing has been paid. Images of the check or wire transfer confirmation are kept in Spectrum as backup. Heather Manning assists with both processes as needed.

PAYROLL + BENEFITSPayroll and benefits related items are submitted to [email protected]. The HR inbox is monitored by Stacey Maple, who works with Angela Kearney and Liz Strickland to respond to inquiries regarding new hires, terminations, benefits, and payroll.

PayrollPayroll is processed for payment every Monday for the pay period (the previous Monday to Sunday). Project Coordinators are responsible for entering employee-owner timecards into Spectrum by 11:00 A.M. CST Monday morning. Once all timecards have been entered for the pay period, Stacey processes payroll by 2:00 P.M. CST. At this time, checks are printed and the direct-deposit file is created, which is uploaded to the bank on Wednesday for payment on Thursday.

Once payroll is complete, Angela compiles the Weekly Report, which is then sent to all Officers, Project Managers, Plant Superintendents, and Administrative staff on Tuesday afternoon. The Weekly Report contains a variety of information, including new hires who are missing paperwork, benefits eligibility, emergency contact information and a listing of all active employees, including those who have zero hours, which are highlighted at the top of the list. The Weekly Report is a good resource to ensure that all employee-owners were paid appropriately for the prior week.

On Tuesday afternoon, Stacey packages and ships the weekly payroll packages to the offices and projects for delivery on Wednesday.

BenefitsOnce a month, Angela assembles and ships enrollment packets to employee-owners who are within 30 days of eligibility for Garney’s benefits. The list of eligible employee-owners appear in the Weekly Report. Eligible employee-owners are asked to complete the enrollment forms and return them to [email protected] prior to the deadline indicated in the enrollment packet. Once the forms are returned, Angela sets up each employee-owner’s benefits based on the selections indicated on their forms. Employee-owners who submit their forms after the deadline have to wait until open enrollment to enroll.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT)All IT requests are sent to [email protected]. The IT inbox is monitored by Garney’s IT staff – Mike Parker, Brandon DeBruce, Tim Vallejos, and Dave King. Mike Parker, who recently joined the Garney team in December, will

be handling the communication and coordination of requests sent to the IT inbox. Mike will follow up with employee-owners to make sure each request receives a response from a member of the IT staff. He will also be responsible for tracking laptop requests and returns, as well as organizing the computer rollouts.

The rest of the IT staff oversees Garney’s computer and server hardware and software to ensure it is working effectively for employee-owners. They each have many projects on their plates, but have been tasked with the following specialties in 2015:

• Dave King, located in the Winter Garden office, oversees the phone servers and monitors our network efficiency.

• Tim Vallejos, stationed in the Littleton office, addresses incoming field concerns.

• Brandon DeBruce works out of the corporate office in Kansas City and is in charge of backing up the servers, as well as disaster recovery. Brandon has also played a key role in preparing for the rollout

of Office 365, which will be installed on the next installment of computers shipping out in February and March.

STAFF ACCOUNTINGThere are various other processes that fall under the Corporate Financial Services group.

Spectrum Report WritingShanene Whiteside is responsible for creating customized Spectrum reports, as well as updating and making changes to the current Spectrum reports. Weekly Equipment Lease CostsOn Wednesday, Colby Lammers sends out the weekly lease cost sheet, used for job site trucks and iron, to management personnel. Any changes to the sheet should be reported to Colby by Friday. As changes are turned in, Colby updates the lease

cost sheet.

On Sunday, Colby enters the lease sheet into Spectrum and matches it to the appropriate jobs and phase codes. He also allocates costs for other Garney-owned trucks to the appropriate jobs based off the information reported on employee-owner timecards. Once the information is updated in Spectrum, reports are generated and given to the Equipment Council for review, and the spreadsheets are updated.

ESOP AdministrationThe ESOP administration has long been the responsibility of Tom Dahl. The process of getting ESOP statements printed is long and complicated. Tom works with Principal Financial Group (ESOP plan administrators) to get the ESOP allocations, Lathrop & Gage (legal firm) to make sure plan rules are followed and Business Appraisal Services to get a fair stock price. This process starts in early January and final statements are generally ready at the end of April.

EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENTCORPORATE TRAINING EVENTSStarting this year, Garney will take a more systemized

approach with our training and development initiatives. First

and foremost, you will notice this with the consolidation of our

various training sessions into three main events:

Regional Training Session

February 5-6, 2015 – West & Central

February 12-13, 2015 – East

Field Managers Workshop

May 1-2, 2015

Pipe & Plant University

October 1-2, 2015

We will be selective with our content and material selection as

we develop the training agendas. Since we are taking you away

from your jobs, we want to provide you with quality content that

will benefit you upon returning to your projects. We understand

how important your time is and want to make the most of it.

For our newer employee-owners, we have also determined four

new hire training dates for 2015:

January 15-16, 2015

April 16-17, 2015

July 16-17, 2015

October 15-16, 2014

Our new hire training takes place at the corporate office in

Kansas City. During training, employee-owners learn more

about Garney processes and meet all of the employee-owners

stationed at our corporate headquarters. Those who will

experience the most benefit and should attend this training are

salaried employee-owners who are early in their tenure with

Garney and are ready to begin working in Spectrum. If you are

interested in attending one of the new hire training sessions,

talk with your supervisor to get approval and have them contact

Jordan Joyce at [email protected] to make the appropriate

arrangements.

We hope with this new approach, we can provide you with a

consistent and structured employee development program that

will help you to achieve your full potential.

IMPROVE YOUR COMPUTER SKILLS WITH CUSTOM GUIDE!

As a Garney employee-owner, you have access to Custom Guide. Custom Guide is an online learning tool containing short interactive tutorials for Microsoft software. By using this program, we hope employee-owners will gain a better understanding of Microsoft product, making us a more efficient and productive company.

EMPLOYEE-OWNER SPOTLIGHTJOE LEWIS, JR.SUPERINTENDENTJoe Lewis, Jr. is the epitome of the foundation Garney was built

upon and a true example of what being an employee-owner is

all about. Joe started with Garney as a Laborer on May 30, 1973.

He has worked alongside his father and brother over his years

with the company. Joe has been a Superintendent for over 25 of

his 41 years at Garney. He has constructed water lines, sewer

lines, and industrial projects all over the Kansas City Metro

Area and around the Midwest.

Joe is very conscience about his work and has strived to

represent Garney to the highest standards in all aspects of his

projects. His knowledge and experience in this industry are

second to none. Following in his father’s footsteps, Joe Lewis,

Sr. (1989), Joe was the recipient of the George Enright Award in

2008.

Joe is an avid wood carver and if anyone has seen his work, it is

very impressive. As with his projects, it is the attention to detail

that you would expect from Joe. He also enjoys baseball. Rumor

has it that Joe was a pretty good baseball player in his day and

still gets the old mitt out from time to time.

Joe will be retiring in early 2015. He has given over two-thirds

of his life to Garney and will now be able to spend more time

around the house with his wife, Kim. Maybe even take a trip or

two around the country.

The best words to describe Joe are QUALITY, INTEGRITY,

HONESTY, and FAMILY.

CONGRATULATIONS, JOE!Joe’s family, friends and fellow employee-owners gathered at the Oread Hotel in Lawrence, Kansas, on Sunday, January 11, to surprise him with a retirement party. Congratulations on a successful career and good luck in retirement, Joe!

Jennifer Hopps, of the Tennessee office, and her husband, Mike, are the proud parents of John and Mick, who have both achieved the rank of Eagle Scout – the highest in the Boy Scouts of America – which required the boys to plan and execute a project of size that benefits the community. Jennifer’s older son John, now 20, was recognized two years ago while Mick, 18, was awarded his rank last month.

Garney was instrumental in both boy’s projects. John completed a significant landscaping project at his school,

installing xeriscape plants, mulch and nearly 1,000 feet of curbing. John’s major need in his project was financial (to pay for the curbing), and Garney was one of his major contributors.

Mick’s project involved collecting over 80 discarded, neglected and abandoned bicycles from various sources (mostly law enforcement), repairing and refurbishing them to yield over 50 bicycles in safe working order and donated them (along with a helmet) back to the community through a local church that had indicated they could disperse them. Mick could not have completed the project without Garney allowing Mick their storage space in their Florida office.

John is now studying at the SAE Institute in Nashville for music production and engineering. Mick is attending the Tennessee College of Applied Technology studying Drafting and CAD Technology. Each of these young men want to thank the employee-owners of Garney for its help on their projects.

SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITYGARNEY HAS A HAND IN THE MAKING OF TWO EAGLE SCOUTS

WELCOME TO THE TEAM, ILANA!The Business Development Council is excited to welcome Ilana Mann to the team.

Ilana is serving as a Marketing Coordinator and is located in the Winter Garden

office. Prior to joining Garney, Ilana was the Sales & Marketing Coordinator

for Taylor Morrison, one of the largest North American based home building

companies. In this role, she was responsible for marketing campaigns and

collateral, serving as a liaison to advertising and public relations agencies and

was responsible for event planning. Ilana is a graduate of the University of Central

Florida. She joined Garney on January 19 and is eager to learn about our industry.

A menudo he pensado en lo que sería necesario para la transición de un empleado-propietario por hora a un Superintendente. ¿Qué pasos debo tomar para convertirme en un Superintendente y qué entrenamiento estará disponible para que Garney me ayude a alcanzar mis metas?

— AVID FOR ADVANCEMENT

ESTIMADOS AVID:Actualmente, estamos trabajando para desarrollar un programa de capacitación formal llamado Universidad Garney, que ofrecerá una variedad de oportunidades de capacitación para los empleados-dueños. Este programa se pondrá en marcha a finales de este año. Hasta entonces, pida a su Superintendente que le de retroalimentación sobre como es su desempeño. Transformarse en un Superintendente requiere de liderazgo y habilidades de organización. Muchos de estas caracteristicas son más “don de gente” que las habilidades técnicas. Piense en algun Superintendentes que tiene éxito y si le gustaria trabajar para el - trate de imitar sus atributos. Garney tiene grandes planes para el futuro y necesitamos empleados-propietarios como usted que quieran ir un paso adelante y asumir retos más grandes.Write me and I’ll do my best

to answer your questions.

ESOP MAN

HOMBRE ESOP,ESOP MAN,

This column acts as a forum for employee-owners to get their

questions answered by ESOP Man. Think of it as Garney’s version of

“Dear Abby.” Oftentimes, employee-owners have the same burning

questions; this column gives you an opportunity to submit questions

anonymously, directly to ESOP Man. If you have questions you’d like to

submit for future issues, please email [email protected].

I have often thought about what it would take to transition from an hourly employee-owner to a Superintendent. What steps do I need to take to become a Superintendent and what training will be available from Garney to help me reach my goals? — AVID FOR ADVANCEMENT

DEAR AVID:Currently, we are working to develop a formalized training program called Garney University, which will offer a variety of training opportunities for employee-owners. This program will be rolled out later this year. Until then, ask your Superintendent for feedback on your performance. Transitioning to a Superintendent requires leadership and organization skills. Many of these are more “people skills” than technical skills. Think of Superintendents who are successful and who you enjoy working for - try to replicate his or her attributes. Garney has big plans for the future and we need employee-owners like you who want to step up and take on bigger challenges.

RECEIVING DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE ESOPWhat happens to an ESOP account when you leave Garney? The

rules for receiving distributions from the ESOP can be complex.

The chart to the right summarizes the basic plan rules on

distributions (remember, the normal retirement age is 62).

When talking about distributions from the ESOP, it is a

good time to remind all employee-owners that as you near

retirement, you should be seeking professional support to plan

your future financial situation. If you do not have someone that

you work with already, Garney provides the services of Bukaty

Companies for employee-owners to consult with.

You can contact Jason Hoffman at [email protected] or

(888) 657-0440.

ESOP COMMITTEE UPDATE

ACTUALIZACION DEL COMITE DE ESOPRECIBIENDO SU DISTRIBUCION DEL ESOP?¿Qué sucede con una cuenta ESOP si dejo de trabajar en

Garney? Las reglas para recibir distribuciones de la ESOP

pueden ser complejas. En el gráfico de la derecha se resumen

las reglas básicas del plan sobre distribuciones (recuerde, la

edad normal de jubilación es de 62).

Cuando se habla de las distribuciones de ESOP, es un buen

momento para recordarle a todos los empleados-dueños

buscando ayuda profesional para planificar su futura situación

financiera. Si usted no tiene actualmente ayuda, Garney le

puede proporcionar los servicios de la Compañías Bukaty para

empleados-dueños.

UNK BID DAYOn Friday, November 7, 2014, four employee-owners visited

the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK) and conducted

a “Bid Day” for the students in the Construction Management

program. The employee-owners from the Central Plant Group

presenting the “Bid Day” included Gary Bittner, Mark Miner,

Brian Schultz, and Darous Allton.

The Central Plant Group conducts these “Bid Days” on various

university campuses in the region as a way to educate the

students on how “Bid Days” happen in the real world, and as an

outreach to let the students get to know Garney Construction.

The students are presented with an actual scenario where

Garney bid on a project. Some drawings, an outline of project

requirements, and copies of Garney Bid Summary Sheets

(without pricing) are given to teams of 4-6 students. Then

every 20 minutes, the teams are given packages of actual

subcontractor and supplier quotes from the bid. The students

are responsible for analyzing the quotes and adjudicating,

making any adjustments to the bid. The students then close out

and turn in a bid at a predetermined time.

At UNK, the “Jelly Doughnut Construction” team turned in a

responsive bid that was the closest to Garney’s bid, and was

deemed the winning team. All of the students enjoyed the

experience and the professors at UNK, Mr. Dale Porter and

Dr. Nate Berry, were very appreciative of the Garney Team for

providing a real world experience of closing a bid. Garney and

UNK look forward to doing it again next November.

HR & RECRUITING COUNCILPOLICY HIGHLIGHT: DRUG FREE WORKPLACEGarney is committed to protecting the safety, health and

well-being of all employee-owners and other individuals in

the workplace. We recognize that alcohol and drug abuse pose

a significant threat to our Goals and Philosophies. We have

established a drug free workplace program that balances

respect for individuals with the need to maintain an alcohol

and drug free work environment. Each employee-owner, as a

condition of employment, will be required to participate in the

following testing upon selection or request of management:

pre-employment, random, post-accident and reasonable

suspicion.

One of the goals of Garney’s drug-free workplace program is

to encourage employee-owners to voluntarily seek help with

alcohol and/or drug related problems. If, however, an individual

violates the policy, the consequences are serious. The company

has a zero tolerance policy and, therefore, a positive test

will result in immediate termination. Garney recognizes that

alcohol and drug abuse and addiction are treatable illnesses.

Garney also realizes that early intervention and support can

improve the success of rehabilitation and may prevent those

whose problems have yet to reach the level of addiction

from progressing. Employee-owners seeking assistance for

themselves or their family members are encouraged to reach

out to our new employee assistance program, LifeMatters at

1-800-634-6433 or www.mylifematters.com.

IMPORTANTE POLITICA DEL CONSEJO DE RECURSOS HUMANOS Y RECLUTAMIENTO: TRABAJO LIBRE DE DROGASGarney se compromete a proteger la seguridad, la salud y el

bienestar de todos los empleados-dueños y todas las otras

personas en el lugar de trabajo. Reconocemos que el abuso de

alcohol y drogas representan una amenaza significativa para

nuestros objetivos y filosofías. Hemos establecido un programa

en el lugar de trabajo libre de drogas que equilibre el respeto a

las personas con la necesidad de mantenerse libre de alcohol

en un ambiente de trabajo libre de drogas. Cada empleado-

dueño, en su condición de empleo, será obligado a participar en

una prueba si se lo piden: pre-empleo, al azar, o después de un

accidente o una sospecha razonable.

Uno de los objetivos del programa de trabajo libre de

drogas de Garney es fomentar empleados-dueños a buscar

voluntariamente ayuda con el alcohol y / o problemas

relacionados con las drogas. Sin embargo, si una persona viola

la política, las consecuencias son graves. La empresa tiene

una política de tolerancia cero y, por lo tanto, un resultado

positivo resultará en la terminación inmediata. Garney

reconoce que el abuso y la adicción al alcohol y las drogas son

enfermedades tratables. Garney también se da cuenta de que

la intervención temprana y el apoyo pueden mejorar el éxito de

la rehabilitación y pueden evitar que aquellos cuyos problemas

aún no han alcanzado el nivel de adicción de progresar.

Queremos animar a los empleados-dueños a que busquen

ayuda por sí mismos o con la ayuda de sus familiares para

llegar a nuestro nuevo programa de asistencia al empleado,

Asuntos de Vida en 1-800-634-6433 o www.mylifematters.com.
