Your formal title at Aries: HR Admin & Payroll
Your job duties & responsibilities: All HR, admin, and payroll related duties, and then some, including: Handling payroll for all branches of the Aries company, completing background checks and scheduling drug tests for new employees. I also listen to and address complaints and any other miscellaneous issues that arise. And, I prepare monthly quality control reports for all of our building locations.
How long have you been at Aries? 10 years.
Where did you work prior to Aries; was it in the same industry or something totally different? I worked at our plant in Houston (it was a different company at that time). The business was still modular-based. Before that, I built car parts, steering wheel casings and other parts, at a rubber company. I’ve always been in the building industry. I grew up digging septic tanks and digging out basements for people who moved into homes and wanted basements added, post move-in.
When you’re not at work, what would we find you doing? Right now, the only thing I have time for is reading! I really like suspense novels. I also like doing crafts (a lot!) when I have the time.
