National Payroll Week is Sept. 1–5. It is a time to honor and celebrate the vital work of payroll professionals.

The Department of Human Resources (DHR) Director Jay Osborne says, “I want to take this opportunity to thank our payroll professionals for everything they do for all King County employees. They are always there for King County employees, ensuring we receive our pay accurately and on time for each pay period. Our employees know that they can rely on the payroll team’s expertise and professionalism, and the systems they have developed and manage.” 

King County is a large, diverse organization and its payroll has many complexities. When changes occur, the payroll team quickly adjusts and efficiently executes them. When deadlines loom, they are quick to put in the extra effort to ensure the job gets done. “I am proud of our payroll team, and grateful for their skills, knowledge, and commitment to the employees of King County,” says Osborne.
