This month’s edition will focus on
those things you need to know
about our building, our processes,
and our people. Every year it seems
like there is so much to try to
remember, so we want to help.
This edition of the Campbellsville
CamperForce newsletter will
provide faces to go with the names,
and hopefully, answers to those
“on-going’ questions.
Keep this edition handy, you’ll be
referring to it during this peak season.

Last Minute Tips From Your CamperForce Team
Documents used for E-Verification

date.
We cannot use your Driver’s License it’s expired. Check the date! Also, If you do not have a copy of
your SS Card you can go to the nearest Social Security Office and request a “Verification of Social
Security Number” from them. Usually, they will print it out on the spot for you. That is an acceptable
verification we can use in place of your SS Card. Here is the complete listing of acceptable forms.
REMEMBER! You may have documents from List A or B, BUT must also have documents from List C.
Example: You may have A U.S. Passport (List A)OR a Driver’s License (List B), but MUST have SS Card
(List C) as well.

What About Pay Cards Instead of Direct Deposit?
If you sign up for a pay card versus direct deposit you will first be issued a “temporary” Aline Visa Debit
Card that will be funded with your first two pay checks. After that, a permanent Aline Visa pay card will
be sent to the address you provided on the Background Check form you submitted to us. This is the
“official” address Amazon has listed in the People Portal System. This could obviously cause some issues since the address you provided will likely be out of state. It would be your responsibility to have
your Pay Card forwarded to you. Also, anyone signing up for a card will not be able to use a P.O. Box as
your address.
What about Direct Deposit?
In order to submit your Direct Deposit form we’ll need a blank check with VOID written across it. Plan
to bring this with you to our CamperForce Start Up Meeting at Heartland Campground.
ADP Self-Service (I-PAY)
ADP Self-Service (ADP) is the paperless payroll system we now use. Amazon no longer issues paper pay
stubs. The following info will help you to understand how to

The New Aline Card
Amazon is replacing the
Chase Card with the
new ADP Aline card.
The new card has
several additional
features including a
robust online account
management system.
http://mycard.adp.com
How do I access my Money?
Make up to three (3) Surcharge Free Withdrawals at In Network ATMs.
(additional withdrawals or out of network withdrawals will incur a $3
service charge)
Go Inside a partner bank, present your new card and receive all of your
Cash. (1 time per week, surcharge Free)
Use the card as a debit card. Make PIN based transactions and receive
cash back where allowed.
Know what’s in your stash!
Check your balance:
- Online
- Text Alerts
- Automated Phone Service
Examples:
Different ATMs have various withdrawal limits based upon what type of bills the
machine dispenses and how many it can dispense without jamming. On average
they dispense up to $300 - $400 at a time.
Example 1:
Example 2:
-
-
John Picker receives a net pay of $918.36.
To get all of the cash he could:
Go to an ATM that dispenses $20
bills with a $400 limit and make the
following transactions
$400
$400
$100
This would leave a balance of $18.36
on the card which could be
withdrawn over the counter inside a
bank or used to pay for services
where the Visa Debit card is
accepted.
Mary Stow receives a net pay of $1247.58.
To get all of the cash she could:
Go to an ATM that dispenses $20
bills with a $400 limit and make the
following transactions
$400
$400
$400
This would leave a balance of $47.58
on the card which could be
withdrawn over the counter inside a
bank or used to pay for services
where the Visa Debit card is
accepted.
Alternatively, both associates could use the online banking resources with the
new card and pay their bills directly without having to carry around $100’s of
dollars in cash.

A Note About Metal in Your Body
Metal in your body from surgical procedures has a tendency to set off the security system and delays you and
others in getting through Security. HR can supply you with a Medical Exception Card to present to Security as
long as you provide documentation (signed, letterhead, etc.) from your medical professional detailing the information (surgically implanted metal in Left knee, etc. ) Please call your medical provider today, tell them what
you need, have them scan/email or fax the document to you and bring it with you so we can avoid unnecessary
delays in issuing the card.
What about braces?
Sometimes an Associate wants to wear a brace into the Fulfillment Center. In order to do so, our policy states
that the Associate must have a physician’s order and the brace must be approved by Safety.
So, what constitutes an “authorized” brace? An authorized brace is any brace that does not restrict movement
of the affected area AND is approved by the Site Safety Manager. Example: a wrist brace that has metal pieces
to stabilize the wrist and not allow complete rotation would not be approved as it limits the mobility of the
joint.
REMEMBER! Each brace is approved on a case by case basis. The Site Safety Manager must approve any brace
and it must be accompanied by a physician’s order. PLEASE do not show up with a brace without the
documentation from your physician!
Most of All…
Remember to have fun!
Those that are returning to Amazon will tell you that sometimes frustrations mount as we work hard to meet
and exceed our customers’ expectations. Keep this in mind:
It’s a job, not a career! Your time with us is short, usually 10-12 weeks. Focusing on the task rather than
what “they” should do is a great way to avoid stress. Remember the reason you’re here this season! Keep
your focus on the reward! For some of you it’s the opportunity to work with friends, for others it’s to help with
expenses, for others it’s the adventure of something new. Whatever the reason, keep smiling!
Thanks for Coming to Campbellsville and SDF-1!

Last Minute Reminders
From Your Campbellsville
CamperForce Team!

Consider a nylon belt buckle or nylon suspenders prior to arrival. As of now SDF-1
will not provide them this season




No rocker sole (Shape –Up) shoes
Now is not the time to break in new shoes!
No braces without medical provider documentation and SDF-1 Safety approval
Be like Gumby! Be flexible! At times during the season we may ask you to help in a
different department
A Final Word Regarding Start Dates
We understand your being anxious regarding start dates but please be patient. We start our recruiting
year in January of each season and this is our number one question throughout the year!
Start dates are given to us by Finance based on business need. When we interviewed with you we
asked your availability and we’ve listed y in our spreadsheet as being available at that time.
At this time projections are being made regarding labor needs. Several factors are involved when filling
start dates, including hire date and specialized skill. It is possible for projections to change based on
customer demand, people who for some reason can’t come, etc. This projection is an estimation,
business needs change quickly and we must respond in a like manner. Because of this, the labor need
projection can change weekly.
We will work to get you to started as soon as we can, based on availability.
Just as last season, we will strive to give as much advance notice of your start date as possible (usually
3-4 weeks). Once you’ve received that firm start date you can update the campground.
Until then rest assured that the contingent offer we made and the acceptance of that offer is what
we’re counting on to make the Holiday season bright for thousands of people this year!
