This workshop will provide insights to payroll administration, all legislative requirements, the latest trends and market practices and outsourcing payroll.
Introduction
Payroll administration encompasses all the tasks involved in paying an organization’s employees. It typically involves keeping track of days/hours worked and ensuring that employees receive the appropriate amount of pay. It also includes calculating legislated contributions that employees have to make e.g. Central Provident Fund, ethnic and skills development funds etc. as well as ensuring that taxes due by employees are properly withheld and processed.
Payroll administration is an important function of the organisation and it is important for HR and payroll staff to be competent in these areas and knowledge. Employees expect employers to pay salaries on time and according to the agreed terms in their contract of employment. It is inexcusable and unprofessional if HR fails to accomplish this. The HR and payroll professionals must also be on top of all the legislative requirements and market trends that involve payroll.
This workshop will provide insights to payroll administration, all legislative requirements, the latest trends and market practices and outsourcing payroll.
