Hurricane Relief for NPC Employees
Our NPC Family has come to the aid of employees affected by Hurricane Harvey, and thanks to your quick action, we’ve been able to get money to victims already through the NPC International Disaster Relief Fund!
But our work is not done!
Many employees in Florida have been impacted by the strong winds and heavy rains of Hurricane Irma – the list of those impacted is long and sadly, continues to grow. YOU can help employees receive direct and immediate assistance through a tax-advantaged donation, and there are several ways to give to the NPC Disaster Relief Fund.
Payroll Deduction
Spread your donation out across several pay periods with an automated payroll deduction. Follow the steps below to set up a recurring payroll deduction. You must enroll by September 15!
1) Login to NPC Connect at https://connect.npcinternational.com/
2) Navigate to the Giving Back page under NPC Community (https://connect.npcinternational.com/npc-community/giving-back/)
3) Under EXTERNAL LINKS, click Donations
4) Next screen, click ADD NEW CONTRIBUTION
5) Next screen, click Hurricane Relief 2017
6) Next screen, choose the amount you would like to donate. Donations will be deducted from six pay periods beginning on September 26 for Wendy’s and October 3 for Pizza Hut and ending on December 5 for Wendy’s and December 12 for Pizza Hut, 2017. You may choose to deduct $3, $5, $10, $20 or $50 – remember, this is PER PAY PERIOD.
7) Next screen will ask you to SAVE your amount.
8) Next screen, CONFIRM your donation – be sure to hit YES for your deduction preference to be complete.
9) Finally, you will see a screen that confirms the amount that will be deducted for the six pay periods in 2017.

I just REALLY hope that this doesn’t turn into another thing like the ALS donations two years ago. My money better go to people in need, not someones pocket.
Absolutely. Funds are only granted to NPC Employees who have been impacted by a disaster. There are strict rules governing the eligibility to receive funds (more info here https://www.shrm.org/ResourcesAndTools/tools-and-samples/hr-qa/Documents/p3833.pdf), and this is the group that oversees the NPC Disaster Relief Fund https://www.growyourgiving.org/.
Prayers and best thoughts to all impacted
Did anyone see the the Irma message from a Jacksonville store that talked about employees leaving before Friday could be fired and that they had to return 72 hours after the evacuation
Unfortunately, yes. I think it’s most important to note that this is NOT NPC’s policy – the safety of employees is the number one priority and NPC doesn’t place restrictions on when employees can and cannot evacuate in the face of an emergency. This was the action of one employee and it has been addressed, but sadly, it’s being made out to reflect NPC as a whole.
I know this is especially frustrating to many of us because we know this is NOT what NPC is about. We see all the good our employees are doing to offer relief to victims of Harvey and Irma, but that’s not the story being told. The rain hadn’t even stopped falling and already, funds and care packages were arriving for team members in Texas, Louisiana and Florida. We’re a company of people who truly do care about each other’s well-being. How do we tell THAT story?
It took two days (without stopping to rest) just to drive home when it should have took only 15 hours. The traffic was awful! They should at least give them a extra 24 hours. There was no hotels anywhere so some people had to go where they had family.
