Q: WHAT IS PAYROLL AND FUTURE CAREER OPTIONS?
In the UK, 32 million people go to work and they all need to be paid. A payroll professional ensures that employees receive that pay. As a payroll apprentice you'll learn why pay is subject to income tax, national insurance and other deductions, and you'll learn exactly how to calculate this. You'll learn how employment and tax law influences the amount of pay people receive.
Working with your own portfolio of clients, you'll deliver the payroll using a payroll system, learning to maximise the capability of the technology to deliver exceptional and complaint services to the businesses you support. You'll work directly with His Majesty's Revenue and customs, ensuring the correct deductions are made and paid over for each of your clients.
Throughout your apprenticeship, you'll work with experienced payroll professionals who will develop your skills in customer service, in managing difficult conversations, in organisation and problem solving.
A payroll career can lead to opportunities in people management, in software development, business consultancy, even sales and business development. Does this sound like the career for you?
