Course overview
If you’re experienced in some aspects of payroll, but are unfamiliar with handling employee benefits, submitting P11D forms, need a refresher in this specific area, or are looking to further your career, then this course could be just what you’re looking for.
This two-day course not only contains the essential information you need to provide and report on employee benefits but also features two additional e-learning courses to further boost your learning.
Day one focuses on managing expenses and benefits effectively, including the rules around providing expenses and benefits that do not have to be reported and is broken into two half-day sessions.
Day two focuses on P11D benefit calculations and reporting, and the mechanics behind this area, and is again broken into two half-day sessions.
