“Compliance is Mandatory, Therefore Education is Compulsory”

While I do not remember where I heard or saw this saying, it stuck out in my mind when I first heard it. I thought, “This is what as Payroll and HR professionals need to be reminded of often”.  It was a main factor in why I became involved with OCCAPA. This fantastic group of volunteers, all hardworking Payroll & HR professionals, make sure we are current in this ever-changing environment.  To successfully navigate this unpredictable landscape, it is imperative that we all stay educated, to maintain compliance and reduce risk for our employers.

During my tenure, I hope to see us all find something to bring to the table, to reach out to each other for input when we find ourselves faced with new challenges and support each other.

Looking forward to seeing you all at our Monthly Meetings so we can learn together.
