COLUMBUS, OH - The Ohio Industrial Commission congratulates Penny Vance, Claims Examiner 3 in the Columbus Regional Office, on being named as the January 2025 Employee of the Month.

Vance's nominator wrote: “I would like to nominate Penny Vance as Employee of the Month for the excellent job she does with the VSSR process.”

“She does most of the front-end work on her own for the entire state. If I have any questions regarding the VSSR process, she is very quick to respond. The VSSR process is a very complex and detailed procedure, and she has been doing it great for many years,” Vance's nominator continued.

The nominator concluded with: “She has been a helpful part of the process to move VSSRs to case manager. She is always polite if I must call her with any question, even ones she has answered before.”

Vance is a Claims Examiner 3 in the Columbus Regional Office. Her supervisor is Dortha Ford. Penny started at the Ohio Industrial Commission in February 1996.

She was nominated by one of her coworkers and chosen for the award by the agency's Employee of the Month Committee.

Penny resides in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.
