Is the specialization required or preferred?

 

Wynn Regional Medical Center (WRMC) has one Payroll Specialist working in Human Resources. Due to the increase work and demand of payroll and benefits, there is a need to hire a Senior Payroll Specialist. The current Payroll Specialist started as a contract employee and has worked at WRMC for ten years. Unfortunately, he does not qualify for the Senior Payroll Specialist position because he does not have a college degree, so he will report directly to the Senior Payroll Specialist.
