VSPC Keynote Speaker - John Bernatovicz
The Virginia Statewide Payroll Conference is excited to announce our Opening General Session keynote speaker, John Bernatovicz.
John will be speaking on Payroll Like a Boss, based on the book he co-authored.
Payroll Like a Boss: Your Guide to Strategic Payroll
John Bernatovicz & Tammy Gillenwater
Payroll Like a Boss is a call to elevate payroll from a misunderstood back-office function to a respected and strategic career. It showcases payroll professionals as the unsung heroes who safeguard trust, ensure accuracy, and keep organizations running. The book challenges outdated perceptions and urges readers to be brave, think strategically, and embrace the deeper purpose behind their work. At the core of doing amazingly awesome payroll are two table stakes principles: ownership and love. These principles shape how payroll professionals show up, lead, and serve.
The authors explore the fundamentals of professionalism, the personal journeys that bring people into payroll, and the moments that transform it from a job into a calling. Readers are encouraged to think differently about the future by addressing the payroll talent cliff, being intentional about their role in advancing the profession, and reshaping the dialogue around payroll’s value. The book inspires payroll professionals to stand out through bravery, communication, collaboration, and the smart use of technology.
