They’re always happy to give you the information you need to get the job done. You can learn a little more about them and their eagerness to help employers below:

Karen Shaffer:

What’s the funniest question you’ve ever been asked by an employer? The funniest question I've been asked by an employer is, "Do you get sick of hearing from me?" The answer is heavens no! Persistence pays off, and working through the corrections and credit redistributions gets you to the goal – a zero balance.

Carl Pangelinan:

What do you like about working with employers?

I enjoy working with employers because it’s great to know that I have helped someone balance out their account.

Jeanne Lyon:

What’s the best advice you have for employers? Don’t be afraid to call. If I don’t have an answer, I’ll find the person who does.

Jenice Thompson:

How long have you worked for DRS? I’ve worked 29 years for DRS – 25 of those years in Accounts Receivable.

Kim Piotrowski:

What do you like about working with employers? The people! They are so wonderful and they work hard to ensure things are correct.

Kareen Morlan:

What’s the best advice you have for employers? Pay through E-pay. It’s the easiest and most accurate way to get payments to DRS. AND … Don’t be afraid to call to ask for help.
