Teisha Ward

I’m a payroll and Human Resources professional known for accuracy, strong communication, and managing sensitive information while meeting deadlines in fast-paced environments.

In my most recent role, I process payroll for government contracts in compliance with federal and state regulations. I respond to employee inquiries about policies, procedures, and payroll matters, complete new-hire documentation, handle workers’ compensation claims, and track vacation and sick leave balances.

I also administer employee benefits programs, including health insurance and company perks, while managing garnishments (setup and payment processing). I use Costpoint/Deltek and Cognos to execute payroll and reporting functions, and I support onboarding through documentation and ongoing employee support.

Previously as an HRPayroll Benefits Coordinator, I audited records before payroll processing, corrected reconciliations, and ran additional payroll runs when needed. I managed payroll workflows through Zendesk ticket responses, off-cycle payroll and replacement checks, ACH file preparation, stop payments, and statements to terminated employees—while leveraging Kronos, ECP, EC, SAP, and Great Plains, plus ADP and Fidelity systems.
