Payroll Specialist Interview Questions
"As a payroll specialist, your organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills ensure the accurate processing of companies' payrolls. Employers will take interviews to learn about your knowledge in finance, how you contribute to a team, and how you provide good customer service. Know that having a CPP certification can give you a huge advantage, along with being informed in federal/state regulations and multiple payroll systems."
What would you do if on your first day you came in and had 60 emails and 20 voice mails and the phone was ringing off the hook?

I would make an assessment on what required priority. I.E. someone did not get paid? Handle priorities first and advised everyone else to contact their immediate supervisor and/ or give me 24-48 to get back to them. Less
very standard questions like - why do you want to work for this company? Tell me about yourself and your experiences. How do you prioritize?

Good.
Everyone was kind in the interviews. They have FOX NEWS playing in the lobby while waiting for your appointment which was rather daunting. i.e. "How can I ever work for someone with a FOX NEWS brainwashed mentality. That part was the scariest of all. They make you take a basic accounting principals written exam and then a 'Personality / Culture Examination' They won't tell you but I guess I failed the culture exam because after round 3 of interviews with the CEO and Board, they loved me but after the 'Culture Exam' I didn't hear back for a month. They did low ball the pay rate during discussion. In the end, I am happy that I wasn't selected. You see, my neighbor watches FOX NEWS religiously and we get into some heated arguments... I cannot imagine keeping my mouth shut when the CEO is of the same mindset. If you really want to work for them, learn how to cheat on the personality / culture fit exam.

So you judge someone's business ethics and personality by what they watch on tv. Sounds like you have some bitterness and other liberal issues you need to let go of. Focus on getting the job!! Make some money and trend your own garden. Life is Too $hort. Less

I'm happy that I didn't go to work for someone who plays FOX NEWS in their lobby... yikes ! That reminds me of North Korea... Where all TVs must be turned on to hear 'the great leaders' comments 24/7 Less
Will you be willing to do the party planning for the department? (TOTALLY unrelated to my actual role)

Gatherings with the staff can only add to the bonding experience at the school. It’s a good way to meet in a more casual environment where topics that may not be directly related to school are shared. Less
