Advanced Payroll Management Program

Introduction

Ask anyone in the organization what he or she thinks you do. The answer? “It is simple. Multiply my hours by my salary, subtract the tax and write a cheque”. If only it were that easy. When it comes to handling employee benefits, there is a lot to know. Is the benefit taxable? Non-taxable? Partially taxable? Handling payroll sounds like a simple proposition but NOT. A payroll department/ section is about providing service and control. Employees and managers across the organization ask as many questions, generate many tasks for the payroll department (especially after each payroll run), and set off many related reporting and control activities. Managing the payroll departmental process/function that is becoming increasingly complex requires a high level of expertise. This essential five-day course is designed to concentrate on the management of key aspects of the payroll operation, providing practical advice on major areas of risk, both in terms of compliance and in protecting the payroll itself from fraud and disaster.
