Payroll approvals without the month end scramble

Seven lessons. The salary run, seen from the side that signs it.

Payroll arrives finished. A file, a total, and a question asking whether it can go. Everything that could have been checked was decided in the days before it, in changes that were mentioned in passing and never written down anywhere your accountants can see.

This course walks the week before payday. Where each change has to be recorded, what the totals should look like against last month, which line to open when a number surprises you, and how joiners and leavers get handled without a rushed message on the day.

Who it's for

Founders who sign off the payroll: on a phone, usually while travelling.

Operations leads: collecting contract changes from three managers before the cut off.

Companies that have just started hiring: where payroll went from one person to a team within a year.

The course assumes your payroll is run by somebody else and that your job is to check it and release it.
