Workshop Aims

More complex aspects of payroll

This workshop deals with the more complex aspects of payroll that are essential to gaining a thorough overall knowledge of payroll.

It is designed for those who are entirely confident in basic payroll procedures but are interested in developing their career in payroll even further.

Learn how others deal with situations

This is a tutor-led workshop and discussion forum, with opportunity for everyone to participate and ask questions. Delegates at this workshop benefit not only from the tutor's own experience and some hands-on calculations but also from the open discussion, learning how others handle different situations and difficulties. 

Flexible content to ensure relevance

The content is flexible so the tutor will concentrate on those aspects that are directly relevant to those attending on the day.

Who would benefit?

Some payroll experience recommended

It is strongly recommended that, to benefit fully from this workshop, delegates should already have practical experience in payroll.
