As you know, we planned to be closed Friday, 4/10 in observance of Good Friday. In addition, we will be closed Thursday, 4/9 and Monday, 4/13 in order to give those of you that have been working a much needed break. Friday is a paid holiday, you can, but are not required to use vacation time for Thursday and/or Monday.
3rd shift will shut-down at 8am Thursday morning, instead of Friday morning. 1st shift will start-up Tuesday morning, instead of Monday morning.
Pay checks (and direct deposit) will still be dated for Thursday, 4/9 - at this time the plan is to distribute them on Wednesday. We appreciate your efforts through this incredibly challenging time. You already know that PRD is considered essential due to the manufacture of parts for both transportation and defense. But did you know a grommet we produce is being utilized in respirators in response to COVID-19? The work you are doing matters!

IMPORTANT
According to the Lawrence County and Orange County Health Department, the previously reported confirmed case HAS NOT BEEN TESTED AND IS THEREFORE NOT CONFIRMED TO BE A POSITIVE. The employee may have been told they had symptoms of the virus and should presume to be positive; but, no test was completed and no result has been reported to either Health Dept. We are issuing this correction; because, what was reported to PRD at 4pm on 3/30/2020 was a confirmed positive – which was not accurate. For everyone’s well-being we did confirm with the Health Dept that PRD is following the appropriate protocol to help keep everyone as safe as possible - including regularly scheduled deep cleaning and additional targeted deep cleaning in response to a confirmed case. We will continue to communicate information as it becomes available. And we continue to encourage you to make the decision that make sense for your situation.

PRD and our employees really got into the spirit of Christmas this year resulting in Riley Hospital for Children receiving a donation of over $1,000 ! Our receptionist, Barb Morris, came up with the thoughtful idea. Employees were asked to make a Christmas Ornament to be displayed on the company Christmas tree. Employees were then asked to vote on their favorite at a cost of $0.25 per vote. The money raised would then be donated in the winner’s name to the charity of his choosing. The winner, Mat Ritchison, chose Riley Hospital for Children as his recipient charity. All of the ornaments were auctioned in a silent auction after the votes were tallied and that money was donated as well. PRD matched the voting funds equally bringing the total to $1,019 ! What a great example of holiday team work toward a wonderful cause. Riley Hospital has helped countless families and many of us within the PRD family have thankfully benefited. This is a part of our giving back to the amazing staff at Riley.
