Melissa Burton was given red-carpet treatment on her first day as IPS’s newest senior HCM specialist, including a grand tour of the office space, a flowering plant, and chocolates. It’s only gotten better from there.
“Everyone is so welcoming,” says Melissa. “I love the team dynamic. I’m excited to be part of a company that is shaping the future of the payroll industry and setting new standards.”
For Melissa, the best workday is making a difference for her clients.
“I spent several years in Human Resources, so I truly understand the challenges and time constraints our clients face every day. My goal is to make payroll as smooth and stress-free as possible for them, so they can stay focused on what matters most—their team and their business.”
An avid reader (she consumed more than 170 books last year), this mother of six children enjoys spending quality time with her family, gardening, and beekeeping outside of work.
“One thing people might not know about me is I am a private chef in my spare time,” she adds. “I love any cooking show. And cheesecake for dessert.”
What is Melissa’s favorite vacation spot? Being on or near the water, whether fishing or relaxing on the beach. Her list of indispensable luxuries that she cannot live without is surprisingly concise.
“Hot water and ice,” she quips.
Welcome, Melissa!
