Why you should attend
Payroll is invariably responsible for the largest expenditure for organisations through overseeing the payment of wages to employees and associated costs to other organisations, such as pension contributions and Employer’s NICs. It is an increasingly complicated, yet often poorly understood profession which requires the close collaboration of many other departments.
This course is aimed at those who have in depth knowledge of payroll and are new to payroll management or managing payroll without any previous formal training. It will suit individuals managing payroll in-house or service providers as it provides the skills required for the day to day management of the payroll function and its staff.
Newly promoted Payroll Managers/Supervisors, HR Co-ordinators, HR Managers, Finance Managers, Reward Managers, IT Managers, Financial & Management Accountants.
This course is not designed for those working in payroll in an administrative role which requires skills such as gross to net calculations. These delegates would benefit from undertaking either the Payroll Technician Certificate or Introduction to Payroll courses.
What you will learn
