My background in payroll functions includes two years of excellent experience with Mettias, Inc., ensuring accurate and timely payroll distribution for 75+ employees on a biweekly basis. From collecting timesheets and inputting data to tracking attendance records and providing general administrative support, I have amassed a solid skill set to effectively drive optimal payroll operations and ensure personnel satisfaction. Furthermore, I have continually made significant contributions to optimizing departmental efficiency and productivity while excelling within team-oriented environments.

Highlights of my experience include…

Analyzing and processing payroll transactions for all employees including those for new hires, transfers, and terminations.

Entering insurance deductions, retirement benefits, and garnishments accurately while tracking employees’paid time off and sorting checks for timely distribution.

Responding to and quickly resolving—or escalating when necessary—employee inquiries regarding paychecks, timecards, and other payroll-related concerns.

Facilitating the implementation of the ADP payroll system in conjunction with Mettias’s HR Manager.

Delivering comprehensive administrative assistance in areas such as phone support, records management, and data entry; proficient in Microsoft Office Suite.

With my proven skills in payroll processing, communication, and organization, I am well positioned to surpass your expectations for this role. It would be a pleasure to discuss this position and my qualifications in further detail. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
