Support payroll correction workflows: identify the source of a payroll error, quantify tax impact across affected quarters, document the correction audit trail, and see the resolution through to completion. Manage personal WIP queue with discipline: prioritize cases by SLA date, flag aging cases before they breach SLA, and maintain thorough case documentation from first touch to closure. Perform high-level trend analysis of customer data, system data, and agency correspondence to identify process or system deficiencies. Actively contribute to SOP and KB updates flag outdated content, suggest revisions, and document solutions to previously unresolved issues. Participate in cross-functional collaboration with Corrections, Amendments, Pay & File, and Tax Notice teams; serve as a role model for TP1 staff and actively seek coaching and development from TP3 and M1.
