I would like to be considered for the Payroll position. I have a vast knowledge of payroll
experience and as part of your company I will use it to meet the company’s goal.
In 2009 I supervised a staff of two while assisting in a payroll system conversion for American
Specialty Health. In 2005/ 2006, while at San Diego Transit, the payroll department was faced with
the challenges of a company merger and a payroll system conversion. Additionally at San Diego
transit I was selected to be a part of a special project to implement the upgrade to the timekeeping
system. My responsibilities were to establish the parameters of the system and write the training
manual for all users.
Thank you
Sincerely
Cortez Tarbor
