Introduction to Payroll

Book Course

CIPP course duration 2 day

Who is this course aimed at?

The introduction to payroll course is ideal for those new to payroll that require training on the fundamental elements of payroll processing, such as calculating deductions from pay.

It is also a fantastic course for those that have been out of the industry for a while and are looking for a comprehensive refresher.

What will I learn?

It covers the core payroll skills required to administer the payroll function, such as calculation of gross pay and statutory deductions. It provides a good knowledge base in areas which may not come up every pay period, but can cause confusion when they do, such as court orders, student loans and processing starters and leavers. It also gives an understanding of the interaction between payroll and other internal and external bodies.

What others say about this course…

I really enjoyed the course. My job will definitely be easier now after being on the two day course. I would definitely consider doing further courses in the future with CIPP as I thought they were very professional.

Danielle West, Intervoice/Convergys

The course was very well run and the trainer was very good spending time with individuals when they had difficulty understanding.

Mrs Janie Rowlett, Chiltern Railways

I think the course is good for those with little or no knowledge of payroll and served as a good refresher for somebody like myself who has worked in payroll before but has been out of this environment for a while.
