HR Practice For Payroll Practitioners

HR Practice for Payroll Practitioners

HR PRACTICE FOR PAYROLL PRACTITIONERS

Human resource activities cover the entire employee lifecycle, from hiring to termination, and they link in various ways to the work we do in payroll. Understanding the core HR areas helps payroll practitioners ask the right questions at the right time, know what and when payroll may be called on to assist HR and explain to HR what payroll needs to pay employees correctly and on time. This course covers four modules in a day in a condensed format (see below). A comprehensive set of notes will be provided for each module. Module 1: • Understanding the employee lifecycle from an HR perspective and how that interacts with payroll. • Employment Legislation Essentials covers a range of employment-related acts that form the framework for the employment relationship and directly or indirectly impact payroll. • Employment agreement and company policy fundamentals (interpretation, compulsory clauses, writing in plain language), and what’s needed for payroll.
