A Practical Introduction to Irish Payroll

The trainer, who holds a Diploma in Irish Payroll, will take delegates through the
key payroll processes of calculating Irish PAYE and PRSI. The aim of this practical
course is to provide those attending with a thorough grounding of the key skills
necessary to operate the payroll.

More and more companies, in particular payroll bureaux, are becoming involved
with the operation of Irish payrolls. Although many of the terms used on Irish
payrolls are the same or similar to UK payroll processes, there are a number of
crucial differences.

Practical workshops run on an In-house basis are also available and can be
tailored to your specific needs.
