The Certified Payroll Technician course will provide students with a comprehensive knowledge of PAYE, PRSI and USC, and Employment legislation and practices as they relate to both employers and their employees. The topics covered have been identified as the most important issues which affect employers today. Many of these topics can lead to employers having substantial liabilities because of the incorrect manner with which they are dealt.
The course material includes numerous examples and self-assessment questions which students can use to develop their knowledge while they study. The course is extremely practical and is designed to allow students to progress at a realistic pace. The course clarifies some of the most common misconceptions in relation to the operation of PAYE, PRSI and USC. If you work in payroll, or if you want to work in payroll, if you are responsible for the payroll function, you won’t find a better course for your needs and you will also find that this course is extremely interesting, practical and relevant to you.
