They Figure
Time, Make
Our Checks
This month we meet the payroll
department—the one unit of Anvil
Brand that no employee would
want to do without.
These workers meet daily dead
lines in posting the daily earnings
of the Anvil Brand family—and in
addition they must meet other
deadlines every two weeks in is
suing the payroll checks.
Their deadlines are the ones
that MUST be met. None of us
can imagine a payroll rolling
around and being handed, instead
of our checks, a memo saying be
cause “so and so” was sick the pay
checks will be delayed a few days.
When an illness or vacation re
quires a payiroll worker to be out
it means that others in his depart
ment have to pitech in and carry
the extra load.

roll checks. However, they have
help in keeping up with the daily
earnings of employees at Sherrod
