What do you need to know to run payroll correctly?

With screeds of legislation to understand and an innate need to get your payroll right, where do you go for training and support?

Employees are an organisations greatest asset and they are fundamental to the smooth running of a business.  They are also the biggest expense, so we need to ensure that they get paid right and on time, and to do that we need to understand the multitude of rules around payroll, as well as our responsibilities as an employer.

We know how important it is to maintain the trust and confidence they have their employer. As New Zealand’s payroll legislation is one of the most complicated in the world, understanding the calculation of wages, allowances, payroll taxes and processing of the payroll is essential to running payroll correctly.

• How do you know you have it right?
• How do you check your are not underpaying, or even overpaying your employees?
• Are you or your payroll team receiving training?
• How do you check your payroll team has it right?
