Accomplishments
- Created an Excel spreadsheet to calculate the "average rate of pay" for associates who held multiple positions with different pay rates. The data in this spreadsheet was instrumental in allowing accounting and payroll personnel to accurately calculate each employee's overtime pay.
- Because this spreadsheet documented all hours spent in each position, we were able to pay only the specific workers compensation rate for each position rather than paying all hours at the highest workers compensation rate. This saved the company thousands of dollars.
