The Accounting Division, led by Destiny Jackson (division manager), Patrina Harper-Applewhite (assistant division manager) and Tessah Adams, plays an integral part for the Hattiesburg Police Department. It provides support to the City of Hattiesburg Municipal Court regarding court financial matters and documents, processes paperwork for new employees and enters employee information into the payroll system.
Additionally, these ladies verify attendance, hours worked, and pay adjustments; post information onto designated records, review time sheets, wage computation and other information to detect and reconcile payroll discrepancies. In addition to keeping track of leave time, such as vacation, personal, and sick leave, for all Hattiesburg Police Department employees, they also keep records of employees’ information, such as exemptions, transfers, and resignations, which allows them to maintain and update payroll records.
Lastly, the Accounting Division coordinates billing and scheduling for Special Duty Details that officers work outside of the police department. These ladies are appreciated dearly, especially after distributing checks on payday Fridays!
