The Benefits Administrator coordinated our annual employee benefits fair in the spring 2016 as well as a retiree benefits fair in November 2016. Multiple wellness programs were also held throughout 2016 to promote health and safety to all town and school employees. The Administrator conducts audits of benefit payments, enrollment and changes throughout the year and assists employees and retirees with any questions regarding plan changes and coverage. The Administrator conducted numerous new hire orientations. The Payroll Administrator is instrumental in utilizing and updating the functionality of the payroll system in order to increase accuracy when extracting salary and benefit data and when processing the bi- weekly Town and School payrolls. All payroll functions and W-2 processing are performed in-house. The Payroll Administrator also provides estimated costs for proposed contract settlements, completes retro calculations when applicable, and reviews Town salary budgets for accuracy. Weekly, monthly, and quarterly remittances and reconciliations are performed in accordance with federal and state regulations. For the upcoming year we will continue to make every effort to be supportive to the administration and employees of the Town, to continue to be fiscally responsible by our involvement with benefits management, payroll processing and continue to adhere to employment laws. Human Resources will continue to play a role in ensuring that we have high performing and engaged employees who are equipped to deliver the best level of service. We will continue to improve HR processes and systems.
