Payroll Department Spotlight
If this past year has taught us anything, it is the power of connection… connection to our family, friends, work family and so much more. At Storey, we value each and every team member and we would like to highlight the departments and individuals that have kept Storey running for over five decades.
The Department Spotlight will allow us all to put a face with our fellow team members that we have not met or may not see often and to also understand their day-to-day scope of work, successes and any challenges that they overcome on a daily basis.
The first Department Spotlight will feature our Payroll Department. As we can all agree, employees getting paid and customer invoices being processed accurately and efficiently are an integral part of any company.
Collectively, our Payroll Department has over 24 years with Storey; which lends to an overall understanding and deep knowledge of what is important to both our drivers and our customers
The Payroll team consists of Beverly Allday, Cindy Brown, Debbie Pyle, and Lashell Peoples. These ladies are continuously finding ways to streamline internal processes with their main objective of getting drivers paid promptly and accurately.
Often companies have set days each week that payroll is processed. However, Storey has always wanted to pay their drivers as quickly as possible, so paperwork is processed daily; which can be upwards of 60+ drivers on any given day.
The volume can be daunting for a team of four but our Payroll team always delivers and even works weekends to make it happen. The timeline to process paperwork is within 3 business days but the team often always surpasses this deadline and processes earlier.
In addition to payroll, the team is also responsible to balance the advance sheets, customer billings/invoices, ageing reports, file records and most importantly resolve any issues or discrepancies.
Storey is very grateful to our Payroll Department and their dedication to our team.
