DEREK BAILEY, an Accounting Technician III for the Consolidated Public Retirement Board (CPRB), has been selected as the Department of Administration’s Employee of the Month for March.
A state government employee for more than one year, Bailey assists with the many facets required to process the payroll information for the enrollees in the Public Employee Retirement System (PERS).
“Derek goes above and beyond the call of duty and does an excellent job to ensure the each of the 21,000-plus PERS retirees and beneficiaries receive their payment on time,” said one co-worker. “Derek has the patience necessary to listen to their issues and concerns and never stops until the issues are resolved.”
Said another co-worker, “No matter how busy he may be, he always takes the time to be courteous and show true concern to all retirees, whether they have not received their check or just a ‘snowbird’ calling from Florida to get a local weather report.”
In his spare time, Bailey enjoys watching sports, especially college football, bowling, traveling and spending times with his friends.
He will be joined by his friends and co-workers at a special ceremony presented by Cabinet Secretary Rob Ferguson on March 4 at 11:15 a.m. at the CPRB office in Kanawha City.
