Revision Day Two Introduction to Statutory Payments - 2014

Statutory payments are a common area of confusion for payroll staff. Legislation for maternity, paternity and adoption pay is frequently changing and although SSP has remained largely unchanged for the last twenty years, misunderstandings between statutory and occupational entitlement are common.

This revision day concentrates on the complex rules of SMP, SPP, SAP, SSP and Associated Leave and contains all recent legislative changes. Clear explanations are given on qualification, entitlement and calculation of the above statutory payments and leave. Comprehensive documentation is provided, including current statutory payments tables.

Marking

Two examiners undertake marking of completed papers and results should be notified to delegates approximately one month after the course. Personalised certificates will be sent to those who have been successful and an analysis is compiled for unsuccessful candidates identifying questions and topics which caused.

There are three separate National Payroll Certificates available. The Institute awards a certificate for each one successfully completed. On completion of all three National Payroll Certificates an Edexcel BTEC certificate is awarded on payment of a fee.

National Payroll Certificates do not have to be completed in any particular order.
