Irish Basic PAYE and PRSI Regulations - 2014

Who is this course aimed at?

This is an essential training course for anyone who is responsible for the payroll function, works in, or is about to start work in, a payroll function.

Most people working in payroll have no structured training and they have to operate on the basis of what they have “picked up” over the years. The material covered is presented in a jargon free, easy to understand format and is immediately practical to one’s work as a payroll professional.

What will I learn?

This practical course deals with all of the issues, which are important to anyone either working in, or responsible for, the payroll function. The course covers all of the essential rules in the operation of PAYE and PRSI and it outlines the rights and obligations of both employers and employees. It uses clear examples to illustrate many of the points raised.

This invaluable course has been highly acclaimed by payroll personnel working in Ireland.

Whether you are new to Irish payroll, or have years of experience, you will not find a more comprehensive or useful course.
