About Course

This level covers what happens once staff behave like real staff. Leave, sick pay, timesheets for hourly workers, overtime, bonuses and commission, an overview of benefits in kind, and statutory payments — SSP, SMP and SPP — treated as duties rather than software features. It opens with a settings and RTI refresher, so joining at this level directly is fine.

You will run more than one pay calendar in a single organisation without them colliding, and spend proper time reconciling the payroll journal so you spot early when payroll and the accounts have drifted apart. Correcting an already-submitted pay run gets its own session — resubmitting to HMRC without making the original error worse is the most useful thing you will take away.

It closes with a case study: several employees, mixed pay frequencies, a leave request, a reconciliation. Six live hours, manual, checklists, a month of email support and a certificate structured to support a CPD-hours claim.

Note: After you enrol in the course, we will notify you of the live class schedule via email.
