This introductory course will help you learn the principles behind the processing of a company payroll. It is most suited to those who have never worked or processed payroll before, so if you’re new to this role and are looking to work as a Payroll Clerk or Payroll Administrator, this course is ideal.
The course acts as a precursor to a computerised payroll course such as Sage Business Cloud Payroll.
This course will help you get to grips with the general principles of payroll. You’ll start right from the beginning and look at the role and responsibilities of running a payroll and then progress to learning the basic processes, legislation, and regulations you will be required to adhere to.
There are three modules covering a range of topics:
Module One: what is meant by payroll; associated roles and responsibilities; information around complying with the requirements of Real Time Information (RTI) employment status; employee rights
Module Two: employee information necessary to a business; data protection; the P45 and starter checklist; the PAYE system; National Insurance; student loans; the structure and content of payslips
Module Three: statutory payments including sick pay and maternity, paternity and adoption pay; processing leavers; payroll year end
On successful completion of the course, you will receive a Pitman Training certificate. If you then wish to progress further, you will be in a great position to extend your knowledge by learning how to run a payroll using a computerised program, such as Sage Payroll.
