Good Afternoon,
In my currently role as a Payroll Coordinator I manage the PBJ process.
The PBJ process is new to me and I would like to learn more about the process from beginning to end.
Unfortunately, I missed the webinar today. I received the invite after the webinar was over.
Please, if you can add me to any correspondence sent out to assist with the PBJ process. I would greatly appreciate it.
