Amy started with BC Transit in February 2010 as a Customer Relations Agent in a casual position. That role quickly became permanent, and Amy remained on the Customer Relations team until in 2013 when she was the successful applicant for a temporary term as the Operations Assistant. After completion of that term Amy returned to the Customer Relations team, this time as the Lost & Found and Uniforms Coordinator.
After enrolling in the Payroll Compliance Professional certification at Camosun College, Amy joined the Payroll team in 2016 as a Payroll and Benefits Coordinator. Since then, she has also completed a one-year term as the Payroll Work Lead and has supported as vacation relief for the Payroll Supervisor.
As one of five Payroll and Benefit Administrators, Amy’s day is always busy as she works with her team to ensure the accurate and timely processing of the full payroll cycle for approximately 1300 employees. Other daily responsibilities include the administering benefits for all eligible employees, responding to inquiries from BC Transit employees and a variety of agencies such as WSBC, Public Service Pension Plan and Service Canada. Monitoring leave balances, conducting audits, preparing and submitting biweekly & monthly remittances/invoices, and producing records of employment is also a part of her responsibilities.
Amy has loved the encouragement and support BC Transit has provided in her career development over her 14 years. Working across several departments has provided her the opportunity to get to know many of her peers and see firsthand the importance of the work each person does within the organization.
When Amy is not at work, she enjoys any opportunity to be outdoors, travel, cook and try new things! She love spending time with friends, family and her husband – who is also a BC Transit employee on the Dispatch team.
