I am not thrilled with my assistant on this show. A woman I worked with before recommended her as being just fabulous. She's a local and really wants to learn payroll since it's almost guaranteed employment, but I don't think she has what it takes. She's eager to learn and tries hard but it just doesn't seem to be catching on.
Part of the problem is that after 3 months, she still doesn't seem to know which questions to ask. The same situations come up over and over and each time I have to tell her to go back and ask something that she should have asked already. I'm having a hard time trusting her to do stuff on her own, which makes it even harder for me.
And even though she's nice enough, she's lacking in some office etiquette that I can't put my finger on - she walks into my office and starts talking without taking the time to see if I can even pay attention to her. Or she comes in and just stands there looking at me until I say something.
My biggest peeve right now is the fact she can't separate the paychecks into the correct departments even though they are 95% sorted to begin with...
But there's still time and I'm hoping I can train her on a few more things before we get any busier. It's in my best interest to get her as far along as possible before 8/17.

As a trainer of students with special needs I can say that things in writing tend to go a long way- including check off lists. Not sure if this will help in this case (can't train everyone to do everything), but if I can take a kid with a 60 IQ and train him to peel and shred carrots at Chick-Fil-A or work to label everthing with barcodes at a hospital it might be worth a shot! Good luck!!!
