Basic pay runs are the easy part. Real payroll gets complicated the moment someone books leave, an hourly team submits timesheets, or a bonus lands one month and a correction the next.

Over six live hours with a named tutor, you’ll process leave and sick pay, handle timesheets, and work with overtime, bonuses and commission. Statutory payments (SSP, SMP, SPP) are covered practically — where Xero calculates them and what to check before you approve. You’ll run multiple pay calendars in one organisation, reconcile the payroll journal against the general ledger, and correct a pay run after submission, including the RTI implications.

Entry assumes Level 1 or equivalent working knowledge. Ends with a scenario-based practical assessment and a Certificate of Completion. £229 per learner.
