Dudek & Bock provides an opportunity for employees to receive a discount on health insurance. The company already pays about 80% of the cost of your medical insurance. The Wellness Discount is an additional amount that Dudek & Bock will pay to recognize employees’ effort to stay healthy.
The criteria for a wellness discount is a visit, sometime during 2024, to your primary care physician. If covered by Dudek & Bock insurance, your spouse will also receive a discount: $10 per pay period for an employee, plus $10 per pay period for your husband or wife. You can pick up the form on the table outside the HR office, or download a copy of the flyer here:

Over the next few weeks, we will transition to using new timeclocks. Eventually we will no longer be using the paper cards. Three timeclocks have been installed close to each entrance to the building: near the back door by Grinding (across from the restrooms), outside the Shipping Office, and in the Maintenance Department. Every employee will be given a card that looks similar to our gate passes. You will need that card to clock in and out. It is very easy: Press a button on the reader and hold your card up to the reader for about 2 seconds.
Our Auto Department tested the system for two weeks, and we very much appreciate their help. Several additional departments will start using the clocks on Monday. Please be patient as we roll out the new system.
The company is making this change to reduce errors due to manual calculations (missed OT hours, etc.) and reduce the amount of time spent in manually entering the hours into the ADP payroll system.
The cards are sensitive to heat. If you put them in the washer & dryer, they will probably not work! It’s probably not a good idea to leave the card in your car when it is very hot. You should also not store the card next to another “HID” card as they can cancel each other. If your card stops working, please come to HR for a replacement.

Theresa Dudek Schneider was born on May 7, 1936 in Chicago, IL, to Joseph Dudek and Angeline Dudek. Theresa’s first language was Polish as her parents immigrated from Poland and she learned English as she started Kindergarten in Chicago, IL. Theresa went on to teach both her parents English as well. Theresa graduated from Mundeline High School in Chicago in 1954 and went on to earn a Business Degree from Northwestern University in 1958. She started her career in spring manufacturing for her family’s business and eventually went on to become President of Dudek & Bock Spring Manufacturing company. Theresa married Jack Schneider in Chicago, IL in 1963. Theresa devoted her life and energy to raising their 4 children and 11 grandchildren: John Schneider (spouse Cindy Kroger) grandchildren Hayley, Alexandra and Brendan. Mary Schneider-Onesto (spouse Christopher Onesto) grandchildren Christina and Danielle. Suzy Schneider Stoneburner (spouse John Stoneburner) grandchildren Samantha and Amanda. Elizabeth Schneider Duff (spouse Christopher Duff) grandchildren Angeline, Emily, Laury and Madison. Theresa was best known for her love and respect for her family’s business started by her father Joseph Dudek in Chicago, IL in 1947. She was loved and respected by the hundreds of employees in both the Chicago, IL and Saltillo, MX locations.
She was a music enthusiast, poker player, outdoor adventurer and world traveler. She loved traveling the world with her husband and vacationing with her family in Siesta Key, Florida and Grand Haven, Michigan. Theresa had a unique spiritual connection and spent many winters in Arizona where she loved meditation, reflection and walks in the desert. Theresa fully embraced and enjoyed life. She did not waste her time on trifles but lived in the present being authentically herself every day. She was a wonderful role model as was clear in her patience, love and gratitude for all who had known her. Theresa was a strong woman and a strong advocate for women’s rights. She began to influence the lives of young girls as a Brownie and Girl Scout troop leader and went on to plan women’s weekends for her daughters and granddaughters to teach them the important role of women. Her strong moral values, dedication, discipline and proactive approach to challenges taught those around her how to navigate life with grace and peace. Her spirit and way of life will continue to thrive through the lives of those who knew her. “God is Good, God is Great.”
