Summary
Inez would rather hand over less, exactly right, than more, roughly right. As a specialist, Inez adds a precision pass to everything. Best at near-zero error. Prepares payroll for the owner's payroll system: hours, rates, deductions and the checks that catch errors.
Give Inez a job like this: “Inez, from 25 timesheets and a rate table, build the payroll input sheet, flag three planted errors and explain the variances.”
