District Offices News听
Meet Our Staff: Harvey Gill听
When it comes to making sure every employee across the District鈥攆rom students to faculty to administrators鈥攇ets paid accurately and on time, Harvey Gill is the one making it happen behind the scenes. As a Payroll Technician, Harvey plays a vital role in keeping operations running smoothly.听
He first joined the District in June 2023 as a temporary employee. In just two years, his strong work ethic and commitment to learning helped him move into a permanent role. What he enjoys most about the job is the opportunity to solve problems, analyze data, and keep improving. The ever-changing nature of payroll keeps things interesting鈥攁nd Harvey thrives on it.听
Outside of work, Harvey has an adventurous streak. He once went paragliding off the Himalayan mountains鈥攁 spontaneous experience that turned out to be one of the most memorable moments of his life. That same spontaneity also led him to book a 30-day international trip to India with just 48 hours鈥� notice. 
In his downtime, Harvey enjoys reading and learning about business strategies, especially those behind major franchises. He hopes to start his own business one day. His current favorite book is Never Split the Difference by former FBI negotiator Chris Voss鈥攁 reflection of his interest in personal growth and negotiation.听
Harvey is also a fan of weekend sports, regularly gathering with friends for rounds of golf or flag football. After a busy day, you might find him unwinding with a walk at sunset, enjoying the quiet and reflection.听
Right now, he鈥檚 also working on completing his MBA at Chico State鈥攁n achievement he鈥檚 especially proud of. One of the quotes he deeply admires comes from former FBI negotiator Chris Voss, author of Never Split the Difference:听 鈥淪uccessful negotiation is not about getting to 鈥榶es鈥�; it鈥檚 about mastering 鈥榥o鈥� and understanding the path to an agreement.听
Harvey brings both precision and personality to his role. Whether he鈥檚 solving payroll puzzles or planning his next big adventure, he鈥檚 someone who gives his all鈥攚herever he鈥檚 headed next.听
