Experienced HR Manager specializing in payroll and employee relations.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated HR professional with extensive experience in payroll management and employee relations. Over the years, I have successfully managed payroll for hundreds of employees across multiple states, ensuring compliance with federal and state laws. My role as a Payroll Specialist at Upland Software allowed me to hone my skills in payroll accounting, reporting, and resolving payroll queries efficiently.
Prior to that, I served as a Human Resource Manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers, where I focused on talent development and performance management. I have a proven track record of driving employee engagement and implementing diversity initiatives. My experience spans various industries, including retail and corporate environments, where I have built HR departments from the ground up and led significant HR functions.
