Run, Plan & Manage the Payroll Function

Effective payroll planning and adhering to departmental and company procedures
play an essential role in the payroll department and ensures the payroll is processed
efficiently and consistently.

Only 25% of UK Companies have a contingency plan in place. Are you one of the
25%? Does your plan work? When was the last time you tested it?
Do you have a policy and procedure manual? Is it up to date and user friendly?
How does the switch to online in-year filing of starter and leaver information
impact on your procedures and processes?

This course is ideal for those new to the supervisory and managerial role and
for those responsible for the payroll who need to ensure that effective payroll
procedures are in place or want to progress up the career ladder.
