1. Penny - Accounts Payables Penny has been in the office about four years and she is in charge of Accounts Payable. Although Penny is a confident woman and terrific coworker, she is usually holding her breath because she is unsure about whether all the amounts paid are accurate. Plus all the extra discounts, is so difficult to keep track of it all! Penny started working as Order Entry, and moved all the way up to AP. She now overviews most transactions, and spends a fair amount of time during the week trying to create a compelling vendor report, or helping Pam with Overtime.
