Prior learning required

This course is not designed for those new to payroll. You need to have a working/operational knowledge in either a payroll or HR capacity, ideally (though not essentially) at supervisor level or above. The following courses would be useful before attending; Payroll Technician Certificate, introduction to income tax and NICs, introduction to statutory payments and essential additions to payroll basics.

Continuing your learning

CEO pay ratios reporting
The Government has introduced legislation requiring listed companies to disclose figures and narrative about the ratios between the pay of their CEOs and that of average employees. 

This new requirement requires the collaboration of payroll, HR and finance professionals. This online course delves in more detail than the brief outline provided on Payroll update, enabling delegates to begin preparations and to calculate the ratios using recent data so organisations can ensure compliance and prepare themselves for the inevitable spotlight that will be shone on the published data.
