I follow company policies and use encrypted systems when transmitting sensitive information.Describe a time you identified and resolved a payroll error. What steps did you take?Once, an employee's garnishment was miscalculated. I noticed the discrepancy during a final review. I traced the error back to an incorrect entry in the system, recalculated the amount, and processed an adjustment. I then verified with the employee and updated my notes to prevent recurrence.How do you prioritize tasks in a fast-paced payroll environment with strict deadlines?I use a priority matrix to categorize tasks by urgency and importance. I set aside dedicated time for processing payroll runs early in the cycle to avoid last-minute rushes. I communicate with my team to ensure coverage for critical issues and maintain a daily to-do list.What payroll software are you proficient in, and how do you adapt to new systems?I am proficient in Workday and ADP.
