Administrative Assistant
-
Jul 2012 - Jun 2018
Primary departments include Human Resources, Payroll, and Employee Data Control. Under the Human Resources department, I was responsible for taking applications, processing background checks, organizing paperwork, and ordering and managing uniforms from employees. Under the Payroll department, I was responsible for gathering timesheets and entering them into the attendance system. Starting May 2016, I have created a new integrative position called the Employee Data Control in which I was responsible for maintenance of all employee records and gathering necessary paperwork for federal and state regulation as well as starting the process of standardizing the paperwork and procedures. Working at this company has given me experience, working in teams and individually and with other employees and managers.
