COVID-19 INFORMATION

We remain completely committed to your health and the health of your families. In addition to the communication we distributed previously at our jobsites, we wanted to provide more detailed information to you. Please read through this information and talk with your supervisor if you have any questions. We’ll continue to update you on a routine basis as necessary when we have new information to share.

Keeping Our Employees Safe

hand icon

To ensure the health and safety of our employees, effective immediately, all McCarthy jobsite employees will be required to wear a face covering. McCarthy will supply appropriate face coverings to all our employees, and we have taken steps to obtain adequate supply to ensure continued safety. Providing these supplies to our valued employees is absolutely the right thing to do.

  • Continue to communicate the most updated recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and be guided by their recommendations.
  • Effective March 19, 2020, we will offer up to 16 hours of emergency paid time for our craft professional employees. Do not let pay influence your ability to make the right decision for you and your family. Stay home if you are sick. McCarthy wants to support you during this challenging time. This is a temporary, one-time benefit offering, subject to change as circumstances change.
  • Enable employees who are sick or those at very high risk to stay home/self-quarantine. Please stay in contact with your supervisor in those situations. Again, if you are sick, please stay home and follow the directions below.
  • Work to reduce the number of staff in close contact with each other, particularly individuals at increased risk of severe illness.
  • Implement social distancing measures:
    • Increasing physical space between workers (recommended six feet)
    • Staggering work schedules as possible
    • Decreasing social contact in the workplace (e.g., limit in-person meetings, meeting for lunch in a break room, etc.)
    • Limit large work-related gatherings (e.g., staff meetings, large group functions, etc.)

We will continue to adjust to meet the needs of each jobsite.
