My Original USIC Story
I joined USIC’s payroll department after stepping away from corporate life to care for my then-minor child during a critical medical period. My first week back was immediately after the infamous “Friday the 13th” payroll. If you know your USIC payroll history, you’ll remember that up was down and down was up. Employees were either enormously overpaid, erroneously underpaid, or, in some cases, not paid at all.
Stepping in as a temporary employee, I quickly identified opportunities to use reporting and data analysis to restore accuracy. Those tools became the foundation for reconciling pay and rebuilding trust, turning what was meant to be a two-week assignment into a long-term and rewarding career in USIC’s payroll department. Although this role shifted me away from my original HRIS focus, it perfectly fit my family’s needs at the time and allowed me to continue leveraging my HRIS expertise behind the scenes.
HRIS has always been my first career love. In every position I’ve held, I’ve sought opportunities to apply my database knowledge, advanced report writing, and process design skills to enhance system efficiency and accuracy. Whether configuring payroll dependencies or auditing system logic, I’ve always aimed to turn complex compliance rules into seamless, automated accuracy. This continues to be my guiding approach: Analyze. Automate. Deliver Accuracy.
