We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. Please stay safe.

Cold Stress Warning Signs to watch for:

• Shivering that won’t stop
• Slurred speech
• Confusion or memory loss

Do not ignore the symptoms. Step into a warm area, replace wet clothing, and get help if symptoms worsen.

Keep all your 2024 pay stubs and any records of tips or cash work

Employees get a W-2. Independent contractors get a 1099-NEC

Tell your employer if you moved so your forms arrive on time

Make sure it is still valid if you use one to file taxes

Employers must send W-2s and 1099s by January 31

When safety training isn’t available in your language, it puts everyone at risk. Workers who use sign language often face communication barriers on the job, especially in fast, moving, or hazardous environments.
Everyone deserves a safe place to work, and to be heard.
