Dear Mr. Jackson,
I read with great interest your recent ad for a Payroll Specialist and am submitting my resume for your review and consideration. With over a decade of experience and my attention to detail I would be a valuable addition to your team.
In my current position I have grown with the company from only 30 employees to over 150 employees. With that growth my experience and responsibilities also increased. I am responsible for accurate payroll processing for salaried hourly part-time and commissioned employees. Allotment of funds into employee retirement and health insurance accounts are also my responsibility. With a degree in accounting I would bring an understanding of the importance of accurate payroll data for income verification in cases of employees applying for loans or rental applications. I also have experience with wage garnishment appropriate deductions for federal state and local taxes and providing employment verifications for requests from other agencies.
I’m confident that my credentials as a Certified Payroll Professional my experience with payroll accounts and my work on special projects will more than satisfy the job requirements. I look forward to hearing from you soon to discuss this opportunity and will contact your office early next week for a status update on the open position. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Sandy Lovejoy
