In my career at Wonderful Citrus I have gained knowledge and experience in HR with an emphasis in Benefits and Leaves Administration. In my earlier career at Wonderful Citrus I assisted in new hire and rehire orientations. I Conducted I9 audits and was responsible for making all new hire packets. Also, I entered new employee information into our HRIS in a timely manner. I was responsible for VOEs, updating W4s, and changing employee information as needed. I assisted employee with any questions they had regarding our policy's or employee handbook including questions regarding; benefits, pto, pto accrual, jury duty, bereavement pay, Holidays etc. I have also become confident in speaking in small and large groups and speaking with a wide variety of employees from hourly to executive team members. For example, I have conducted yearly open enrollment meetings for all Citrus employees including hourly, administrative, packing house, and farming employees. I also assisted in the Texas facilities for their open enrollment meetings. I am customer oriented and I able to listen and understand employee issues and solve them in a timely manner. I have helped lead participation for the company’s philanthropic program. For example, in 2013 Wonderful Citrus had a participation of 80% and in 2015 the participation increased to 99.99%. I have conducted weekly benefits orientations in English and Spanish as part of the Company’s on boarding process. I have been involved in the wellness of our employees by promoting wellness programs, biometric screenings, health fairs, and health screenings throughout the year.

At Lucich Farms I worked side by side with the HR team. I helped assist in making new employee packets and filed all documents in corresponding files. I assisted in yearly audits and called vendors to update business licenses. I audited all safety logs and assured supervisors where in compliance with all forms and documents. I reviewed employee time sheets and made sure time was correct. If issues occurred I made sure they were corrected in a timely manner so payroll can process according. I also helped assist the reception area when needed.
