Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center payroll team earns award

The payroll department of Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center has been selected as the first recipient of the San Gabriel Valley Payroll Excellence Award, the hospital announced this week.

The winner was selected by a panel of judges from the American Payroll Association San Gabriel Valley Chapter.

Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center's four-member payroll team was nominated by Ray Inge, the hospital's vice president of human resources.

The team consists of Stacy Wiley, Pam Nunez, Cindy Fortugno and Ashley Batcheller.

In his nomination letter Inge noted the department's efforts to ensure a smooth transition as the hospital went to a paperless payroll system last month.

Hospital employees now access pay information from their home or work computers and other means.

The team has also suggested and implemented other changes to make payroll and time keeping more efficient.
