Payroll Bootcamp 2020 (On-Demand Video Content)

Business Central and Thankyou Payroll ran a virtual Payroll Bootcamp across three weeks in June 2020. Each session focused on a different aspect of administering payroll in an organisation, with a deep dive into the various legislation changes in the last year. Due to COVID-19 the virtual format replaced our annual in-person event. 

We packaged up the recordings from these sessions and made them available for you to download and watch in your own time. Once you purchase your ticket, the videos will be available to watch on demand until the 1st of January 2021. 

We learned a lot from this virtual bootcamp, and we trust you will too.

Over six short and sharp sessions, we equip you with the information you need, all from the comfort of your own work or home-based bubble. We hear from various experts on legislation changes, case studies and best-case practices, as well as stories of when it has all gone wrong. 

• Session One: Who are your employees and are they on the right contracts?
• Session Two: Leave Entitlements – it pays to get it right
• Session Three: Restructure, Redeployment & Redundancies & Privacy and keeping your data safe
• Session Four: Tax Types & Bonus Payments
• Session Five: Compliance – staying on the right side of the IRD & Payroll Technologies & Business for Good
• Session Six:  Ask an expert with NZPPA
