Last week, Greenwin's Payroll team celebrated International Payroll Week with some fun and games. Every morning, a "Question of the Day" was sent out to the Greenwin team that focused on Payroll activities. With only 10 minutes to respond, it was a race against the clock for Greenwinites to answer the questions and win prizes.
