ALTRES, Hawaii’s leading staffing company, announced a special program to help federal government employees displaced by the government shutdown. ALTRES is offering temporary industrial work and because of the uncertain timeline of the shutdown, will provide the option for same-day pay to these federal workers in need of a job.

This program is only available for federal government employees displaced by the government shutdown and will end when regular government work is resumed. Also part of the program is a $100 bonus for workers after completing 40 hours.

Industrial workers are needed in Aiea, Honolulu, Maui and Hawaii Island. Open positions include mail sorters, rental car cleaners and transporters, janitors, landscapers, warehouse workers, and various construction jobs.

To apply, workers should call 447-2988 to make an appointment for Oahu, 877-5572 for Maui, 329-2882 for Hawaii Island. They are instructed to bring their federal ID to their appointment where they will fill out an application and have an immediate interview.

“At ALTRES we connect hundreds of employees with employers every day, and feel honored to help these federal workers here in Hawaii as the government shut down drags on,” said Shani Silva, head of ALTRES Industrial.

Workers will not need to give traditional notice when their government jobs are reinstated, and are free to return to their regular federal jobs.

“Even after workers are able to go back to work, they can still work through ALTRES on weekends or days off to make up for any money they lost during this period – we would be happy to help them,” Silva said.
