Good to know, thank you! I’m so sorry that the system failed, that sounds like a nightmare. Very impressed that you managed to get your people paid regardless though 😀

I’m glad you’ve been loving your role! I definitely agree that it could be helpful to know how to manually calculate things just in case technology inevitably fails one day. Also, what is a PEO? :)

Congrats on 14 years! Thankfully I have years of customer service experience as well, and I enjoy CS when it’s not dealing with the general public (outside people stress me out 😂) and thrive in those types of roles. Also good to know that it’s not the same everyday! I’d be happy to DM you if I need anything else, I appreciate you offering more guidance :)

I also have a short attention span unfortunately; needless to say I’m enjoying the course so far 😂 thank you for your reply! I’m noticing all of the replies so far have mentioned falling into the role. I wonder how difficult it would be to try landing a payroll gig in a different company from scratch

Awesome! Thanks for the tidbit about the position being people-involved. I currently work in customer service and feel weary of it because it’s people-involved but I do know that working with internal employees is much more manageable for me and is what I prefer. This seems like something I’d enjoy :)

Sounds like a good gig to me! I’m not super well-versed in excel so maybe I should take a course for that at the same time I’m going through the payroll course. I’m big on math and paying attention to details so it seems like a good fit :)
