Thanks to the successful launch of the Payroll Apprenticeship Scheme, apprentices can now take a payroll qualification relevant to their apprenticeship level. Level 23 focuses on the core skills needed to work effectively in payroll. Topics covered include calculating gross and net pay and how to maintain accurate employee records.  It also introduces more complex payroll tasks – including year-end procedures. It also helps you develop effective payroll management skills.

 

Level 3 builds on what has been learned on Level 2, introducing more complex payroll tasks – including year-end procedures. It also helps you develop effective payroll management skills.
