Melba Lawson is a Payroll Compliance Scheduler at Withum formerly Lindquist. Colleagues describe her as "Melba is responsible for the scheduling of hundreds of compliance audits during the year and is under the guidance of several Senior Managers, which I am one, who constantly request that their clients be the priority of the day. Melba's personality enables her to work with grace and ease with her Managers so as to make them feel as they are her main concern. Her position is not an easy one, if it is not the Managers she is trying to please then the scheduling of audits with employers can be overwhelming. When trying to schedule someone with an audit brings about panic and fear of the unknown and the reactions of those trying to be scheduled can and often is harsh and very unprofessional. Melba's calm exterior and poise enables her to deal with the gruffest of clients and she succeeds in scheduling the audits. Melba's interactions with Legal Counsel on a daily basis has given her insight into the collection process as well as the consequences of non-compliance. She communicates well with our Legal representatives and is well liked by all. Melba is not afraid to ask questions. As one of her Senior Managers she comes to me often asking for advice on certain clients and how she should go about scheduling. This trait I find to be very positive and I appreciate her coming to me so that our clients are given the best possible information before scheduling. Our Compliance Department prides itself on being respectful and fair to all its clients and Melba is the first person the client deals with. Melba is the ultimate professional. She knows how to deal with all types of people and knows when to stand back and listen. I am sure wherever Melba's career path leads she will be an outstanding employee. " and "I have worked with Melba at North American Title and Performant Financial Corp.. Melba is a very dependable, detail oriented and an outgoing individual that gets along well with others. She is very educated and has the ability to take on any position and manage several projects at any time. I wish her well."
