Security Matters

During these trying and uncertain times, having your pay deposited directly into your bank account, rather than receiving a paper check by mail, may provide a safer and more reliable way to receive your pay.
Did you know you can do this quickly?

Direct Deposit

Some Kelly temporary employees have reported receiving suspicious phone calls asking for payroll information. Examples include asking for direct deposit details. These messages do not come from Kelly, and any action requested on such calls should NOT be completed.

If you received such a call, disconnect immediately. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your Kelly Representative.

Keep the following tips in mind to avoid falling victim to cybercriminals:

  • First, be skeptical and cautious with any email, phone call, or text message from an unexpected or unknown sender. Cybercriminals use social engineering to create a false sense of panic, excitement, or urgency.
  • If email, always validate that you know the sender (review their email address) and the message's legitimacy before clicking a link, opening an attachment, replying, or taking any other action.
  • Call your Kelly Services representative using a trusted phone number to verify if you are unsure.
  • Hover over any hyperlinks to see where you’ll actually be directed before clicking; if you are unfamiliar with the site, do not click the link.
  • Beware of typographical errors that make fake email addresses or websites appear real (such as www.myKellypay.com or www.mykelly.jobs).
  • Never share your login credentials with anyone. Do not provide personal or sensitive information on calls or emails if the message feels suspicious.
Workplace Violence

Kelly is committed to providing a safe and secure work environment free of violence, threats, intimidation, and harassment. When an immediate threat to your safety or the safety of others exists, contact local law enforcement authorities.

In the event of a medical emergency, seek first aid or medical assistance.

If you are involved in, witness, or learn of any such inappropriate behavior occurring on Kelly’s or its customers’ premises in connection with employment with Kelly, you must report such behavior to your immediate supervisor.

Report all incidents to your Kelly Representative, immediate supervisor, Human Resources, or the Kelly Services Business Conduct and Ethics Reporting Program: 877-978-0049.

Weapons

Unless otherwise prohibited by state laws, it is the policy of Kelly Services that weapons of any kind, whether or not concealed, are prohibited on Kelly’s or its customers’ premises. Employees who carry a weapon on these premises are subject to immediate termination of employment.

Responding to an Active Threat

An active threat is a person or group who appears to be actively engaged in committing great bodily harm to others in populated areas.

Every situation is different, with changing variables. So, no one procedure can be recommended for every active threat situation. Instead, you must quickly determine the most reasonable way to protect your safety.

Remember - RUN, HIDE, FIGHT.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security recommends the best practices detailed below. For more instructions, including related videos, refer to the Department of Homeland Security Web site.

RUN

  • If possible, remove yourself and others from any dangerous situations
  • Have an escape route and plan in mind.
  • Leave your belongings behind.
  • Keep your hands visible.

HIDE

  • Hide in an area out of the offender's view.
  • Block the entry to your hiding place and lock the doors if possible.
  • Use furniture or other heavy objects to barricade the entrance of a room.
  • Silence your cell phone.

Fight

  • If no other option is available, be prepared to Fight.
  • Arm yourself with anything you can from around the office
  • Remember, this is a life-or-death situation. So if you must fight, be prepared to commit to your actions fully.

When Law Enforcement Arrives

  • Remain calm and follow instructions.
  • Put down any items in your hands (e.g., bags, jackets).
  • Raise your hands and spread your fingers.
  • Keep your hands visible at all times.
  • Avoid quick movements toward officers, such as holding onto them for safety.
  • Avoid pointing, screaming, or yelling.

Do not stop to ask officers for help or direction when evacuating.
