It's Essential to invest in Payroll Training, to avoid the risk of enforceable undertakings
Did you know that a common inclusion in enforceable undertakings is training for payroll and HR staff??
"You can help reduce your risks by having a proactive training plan for all staff involved in the payroll process (HR, finance, and payroll)"
With recent updates to payroll legislation in Australia, staying compliant is more complex and crucial than ever. Recent legislative changes introduce stricter requirements around wage transparency, superannuation contributions, and employee classification.
Businesses must ensure that all staff involved in payroll, including HR, finance, and payroll specialists, are thoroughly trained to understand and implement these new requirements.
By engaging in the APA Payroll Essentials Training you can gain insight into how to strengthen your Payroll function, which in turn can significantly reduce the risk of costly mistakes and compliance issues. Regular and targeted training helps your staff stay up-to-date on legislative changes and equips them to handle complex payroll scenarios. This approach not only mitigates risks but also supports a smoother payroll function, improves individuals understanding and confidence, and strengthens your organisation’s compliance position.
