About Payroll Bootcamp 2020:

Over six short and sharp sessions, we will equip you with the information you need, all from the comfort of your own work or home-based bubble.

Acknowledging that COVID-19 has meant additional costs and pressures onto businesses, we have reduced the regular cost to attend, all while retaining all the key learning outcomes and valuable content.

Starting on June 9th the Payroll Bootcamp will run every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 10am-11am. Over the six sessions, we will hear from various experts on legislation changes, case studies and best-case practices, as well as stories of when it has all gone wrong. After each session you will receive a virtual resource pack, including any relevant slides, templates, and resources.

We provide the experts; you provide the questions.
