Questions and Answers
When will i receive my W2 form from The Wackenhut Corporation? I work for Wackenhut (security) in Colorado, and i called the main office here and they said that our W2's were sent out this past Friday. So my question is how long should it take for them to get here? I do belive the HQ for them is in Florida so is that where they'd be coming from? Also i gave them an address change 1 week before they sent them out, could that create a problem, or should it have been sent to the new address that i gave them? THANKS

N S replied: "Call HR and make sure they have the correct address. It should only take about 2 days for you to get your W2."

Anyone that worked for Wackenhut Security what is the EIN needed to file my taxes?

If anyone has worked for wackenhut and you are going to or have filed taxes can you please just help me out with the EIN....Thanks!

bostonianinmo replied: "You need your W-2. Wackenhut has a number of EINs. The correct one for your business unit will be on your W-2."

Robin M replied: "If you call you branch office they can get it for you. We can't give an EIN number. also your paycheck stub may have it I don't know about Wackenhut but I worked for Securitas it had the company office my checks came from and a Company ID number I used a paystub at Jackson Hewitt to file one year."

Does anyone know how much private wackenhut firefighters make that are not in Iraq? Trying to find out the starting salary range for firefighters who work in the United States for Wackenhut. I know someone who claims they make over $90,000 a year working as a firefighter for Wackenhut in Florida. Just trying to get the facts straight...

TheHangedFrog replied: "Unless there is something special about him..He is blowing smoke up your keister. Most contract firefighters with Wackenhut, Rural Metro or other domestic contract groups make about the same as local fire departments, sometimes a little more, and alot of times a bit less. When you go overseas, rarely do you get paid commiserately the 90K.. for example If you go to Andros Island, Bahamas with Autech, you make 50K (not real number just example), this is without taxes and usually little costs for room and board or medical insurance (usually paid by company).. Now to do the same domesicly.. to make 50K take home, add in say 2K a month for car, fuel, room and board, insurance.. maybe 3K.. so that is an additional 24-36K you would need to make for the year).. Now you are up to 86K, taxes about 15-20K for the year so you need to make about 100K in the US to make the "same" as 50K overseas. In the yesteryear, firefighters make tons of money OVERSEAS, Paramedics would go for 150K overseas (almost 220K US equivilent) But most countries found that they can hire from phillipenes, india and other lower cost countries, and just have the British and Americans as officers.. (not always the case, but very popular in the Middle East)"

How old do I have to be to drive a Wackenhut bus? I live in Arizona. And wonder if I even qualify for the age restrictions. I'll be 21 in the end of November.

Roaddogg replied: "Generally 21 is the age since the Wackenhut prison buses cross state lines and therefore fall under federal ICC & DOT rules. That being said, that is far from the best bus driving job around. Driving charter buses at this time of year in AZ would be a much better option. Check out All Aboard America in Mesa, Coach America, and Paradise Valley Bus. Good Luck!"

Can I get arrested by a Wackenhut patrol officer? Me and my friends trespass into my local public pool at about 2 AM every night and they have the Wackenhut Secutrity Company come by and check, but we have not been caught yet but we are afraid because we do not wanna get arrested or fined... will they just tell us to leave?

dogtear5 replied: "They can physically detain you until the cops come... prob. not a good idea to go there..."

Chuck replied: "Security officers have the right to make a citizen arrest,and hold you until the police arrive."

rookgaroo replied: "They could just tell you to leave, but don't count on it. If it was found the next day that the pool or surrounding area was damaged, it would reflect on the security company. They probably aren't going to take that chance and will call the cops."

How much money can I make an hour working with Wackenhut as security with an associates degree? ? How much money can I make an hour working with Wackenhut as security with an associates degree?

advocate172000 replied: "You have to decide what your times worth to you, then go and ask for it. If your any good you'll get it. Forget the degree none sense, it's just a bit of paper and of no real value or meaning in the real working world."

Are Wackenhut patrol officers armed with weapons? So I do not get shot when me and my friends hop the fence to go to my public pool at night to swim? lol.

Christopher B replied: "WAT??????!!!!!!!!"

Jennifer replied: "Heheheheh - you said Wackenhut. No really, I had a couple friends that worked for Wackenhut at the Target Import Warehouse in WA state - they did not carry weapons. No worries, all they can do is throw their keys at you."

leslie S replied: "Some are, some aren't it matters where they work and what level of security license they have. They won't shoot you for going over the fence unless you try to hurt them with a weapon. They can physically stop you and hold you for the police or they can help id your bodies found floating in the morning."

Delta replied: "depends wat they do and where they work. some carry batons, pepper spray, tazer, or a gun. some carry all. they need permits tho."

Firefighters working for Wackenhut in Iraq? I have been offered a job with Wackenhut, and I will be going to Houston on the 10th of March for processing. Just curious as to what should I bring?

can anyone tell me how the hiring process works with wackenhut nuclear security. Do they polygraph? i submitted my resume they called me back and said that ill be going to an open house. im just unsure as to what all the notions are for getting hired. i screwed around when i was younger with marijuana do they ask that? thanks

ElizabethMichele replied: "They'll ask if you have any convictions and then preform a background check, most likely a drug test too. Probably call former employers, family friends, etc. But they're not going to polygraph you. If you do have a conviction for something, don't lie, they'll just find out anyway and you'll be fired."

lucy lou replied: "My cousin, who is cop now, expermented with drugs too, and some agencies tend to think, it's just a youth thing. Just be honest."

U235_PORTS replied: "The level of background check will depend somewhat on the facility you will ultimately be working at. If you will be assigned to a nuclear power plant, then the level of background check is fairly basic and involves a credit check and a criminal background check. If you will be assigned to a facility where you are expected to have a Q level DOE security clearance, then an FBI agent will investigate your background by interviewing your neighbors and other personal references. The other poster's recommendations to be honest about your pot use were correct. Employers will overlook this kind of disclosure, however, if they find out on their own, you will not get the job, or you will be fired."
