​

1.  What are some of your most significant achievements here?

 While working at Telecharge, I oversaw four hundred employees.  My main focus was        working in Kronos, which would allow my staff members to clock in and out. They worked several departments, some with different rates, so it was important that the machine was calibrated properly. I ensured that each employee was able to log their correct hours for their department, so they could get paid correctly. I took photos of the employees and created their badges, repaired the badge machine. Was able to set up security and the roving crew in Kronos, eliminating timecards.

  2.  What do you enjoy most about working here?
I love doing payroll and helping people understand their paychecks. If they have questions or concerns, I’m willing to go the extra mile to ensure their issue is resolved and we both walk away happy.

3.     How did you get into this field, and what was your first job ever?
I was an accounting major in college, and once I graduated I was hired into an accounts payable position.  Once there I was promoted to Payroll, and I’ve been in payroll ever since.

4.      What is one thing you wish people knew about your job? 
I think folks think our job is straight forward, but we must be on top of the changes in the tax laws.  We also must abide by different union contracts.

5.      What are you most passionate about outside of work?
I wouldn’t consider myself a foodie, but I love going to different restaurants with my friends, and spending time with my kids and grandkids. As a matter of fact, I’m moving to Texas to be closer to my grandkids, and I couldn’t be more excited. 

6.How do you want to be remembered by your colleagues here at The Shubert Organization?
When it’s all said and done, I want to be remembered as someone who was not just an employee of Shubert but was helpful and honest and was there when anyone needed me the most. 
 
Doris, please rest assured that you most definitely will be remembered in the most positive light. You never failed to resolve an issue. You were always willing to roll your sleeves up and jump in when needed, and your team and Shubert will always be grateful for you.
