A shout-out for division supervisors in Bus Operations | |
“I wanted to share accolades we received for the Bus Transportation Platte Division Supervisor team from payroll practitioner David Kuhn, who stated:
‘I do the Friday Platte daily report audit. Having been in payroll for 47 years and gone through many snowstorms and what a mess it can be payroll-wise, I want to say your division supervisors did an excellent job of documenting everything on last Friday’s payroll, and it is appreciated!’"
