Requirements

Features
- From how to calculate earnings to determining which taxes apply and how to file them, processing payroll can be kind of confusing.
- In this course, we use everyday, easy-to-understand language to explain the fundamentals every person responsible for getting payroll processed should understand - whether you're the person actually doing, a small business owner overseeing someone else, or a student learning the activity.
- While this course uses United States information as examples, the information and principles included apply to almost every country in the world.
- Successful students will not only grasp how each of the different aspects of payroll process work, they will understand how (and when) those pieces come together resulting in employees receiving actual paychecks.
- Throughout the entire course, quizzes and actual working "homework assignments" are used to reinforce the lessons as well as help the student understand what they are grasping or needing to restudy.
Target audiences
- Business owners, employees, students • And anyone wanting to better understand how payroll works from the fundamentals up.
