Who's it for?
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 that requires the close collaboration of many other departments.
This course clarifies the role of payroll and the mutual needs and expectations between it and other departments such as HR, finance and IT. Delegates are then provided with a broad overview of the mechanics of payroll including income tax, NICs, statutory payments, student loans and the provision of minimum wage.
The focus throughout remains not the technical rules payrollers must understand, but what other professionals need to know to enable them to work closely with payroll, to the benefit of all stakeholders.
HR Co-ordinators, HR Managers, Finance Managers, Reward Managers, IT Managers, Financial & Management Accountants.
This course is not designed for those actively working in payroll in an administrative role which requires skills such as gross to net calculations. Such delegates should be directed to either the Payroll Technician Certificate or Introduction to Payroll courses.
