Professional Diploma in UK Payroll (Introduction)

Payroll is the accurate and efficient running of an organisation’s payroll system. From a startup where only a few staff are being paid to large multinationals across different jurisdictions where entire departments oversee the accurate processing and reporting of employee pay. Running your organisation's payroll system is one of the most fundamental parts of operating a successful business.  

Processing payroll accurately and efficiently is critical to every business and necessitates an understanding of current regulations, detailed tax knowledge to ensure proper withholding and filing, and a highly organised system that can be relied upon to pay each employee the right amount of money. For many organisations, using payroll systems or outsourcing payroll can help to mitigate stress and minimise errors. This rigorously practical programme utilises the full industry standard Brightpay payroll package to teach basic payroll processing in an interactive and engaging way.

Every organisation needs an accurate payroll processor. Payroll is an essential sector that will continue to develop as technology provides ever more sophisticated solutions that require increasingly skilled operatives. Roles in Payroll exist from basic Payroll processing to senior roles with wide multi-jurisdictional responsibility for reporting, compliance and efficiency.
