Payroll Training Classes
Payroll Training Seminars, Webinars, And Online Classes
Payroll goes beyond issuing checks. For instance, Payroll Specialists must know the legalities of exempt versus non-exempt employees; how to deduct taxes; how to make deductions for health benefits; which employees are entitled to or took vacation or sick days; and how to handle wage garnishments or child support payments.
Additionally, Payroll Specialists must comply accurately and timely with a variety of federal and state payroll reporting requirements, not just for taxation purposes, but for laws covering things like final and/or unclaimed paychecks.
Luckily, HR Training Center offers payroll courses to help your staff stay current on payroll laws, legislation, and requirements that affect how you "do payroll". Our courses are designed to teach employees how to:
