@alanaspessard
Reliable payroll specialist skilled in high-volume timekeeping and vendor coordination.
What I'm looking for
I am a reliable, detail-oriented payroll professional with 4+ years supporting high-volume timekeeping and payroll operations. I deliver accuracy and consistency under tight deadlines.
I've submitted weekly hours for approximately 200 employees using TIMECO and Workday, updated and corrected punches, and entered PTO, holidays, and special payrolls. I maintained weekly headcount, labor, and volume reports and escalated payroll discrepancies when needed.
I serve as a primary point of contact for staffing agencies, create contingent worker orders in Workday VNDLY, and use COUPA for order management. My toolkit includes Kronos, TIMECO, Workday, Workday VNDLY, COUPA, and Microsoft Excel.
I was promoted from Floral Clerk to Department Lead and supervised scheduling and daily operations, demonstrating leadership and strong customer-service experience. I am seeking a remote role that values precision, accountability, and proactive collaboration.
