Spot Bonus for Theresa Yocum

Theresa's regular assignments are related to accounting support, but with the resignation of Payroll & HR Assistant Melody Brian last November, Theresa's primary responsibility became processing the payroll for the student workers and staff employees. This included time entry, adding and deleting people from payroll, managing payroll paperwork and absence reports, and maintaining the monthly absence reports. Theresa accepted this assignment willingly and, due to her conscientiousness and exact attention to detail, became very skilled very quickly. She solved a number of complicated payroll issues, improved procedures, and was very responsive and unfailingly pleasant and thorough in handling employee and student payroll questions and resolving problems. Theresa also played an instrumental role in training the new Payroll Assistant, Troy Martin. Her patience, thoroughness, and ongoing support have helped assure a smooth and mostly seamless transition as the majority of the payroll duties have shifted over to Troy. Congratulations, Theresa!
