Payroll & STP in Xero
Run payroll from start to finish, the way a firm needs it done.
Payroll is the job that scares new juniors most, because mistakes affect real people's pay. This course takes the fear out of it.
You run payroll for the Brightwater Café team: setting up employees, processing pay runs, handling super, lodging through Single Touch Payroll and reconciling the payroll year.
You finish having taken a payroll year all the way through to finalisation, with the workpapers to prove it.
