Why a Payroll Academy?

Individual, practical, modern and time-efficient training

"Payroll Academy: Future-orientated learning for young employees - flexible, fast, online."

The Payroll Academy focuses on training of young talents and modern companies that want to invest in their education and training.

Young people have different expectations of learning and working than previous generations. Learning needs to be fast and available at all times – exactly when it is needed.

That is why the Payroll Academy is an entirely online academy. E-learning enables just that: fast, targeted, long-term learning that is flexible and location-independent. Thanks to the online approach, learning content can be constantly updated and adapted to the needs of the learner, ensuring optimal preparation for the challenges of payroll.

Of course, the Academy welcomes as well all people who are generally open to new learning and methods.

Payroll Academy - International

In our increasingly networked world, where working from home and remotely from anywhere has become the norm, we train the payroll staff of companies that employ staff around the world. This development brings with it new challenges, especially when it comes to familiarising expatriates at home and abroad with the intricacies of German payroll.

It is therefore important to us that international teams also have the opportunity to receive further training in German payroll accounting. To meet this need, we offer all our courses in English.

Our English-language courses ensure that all employees, regardless of their location, can acquire the necessary knowledge to master the complex requirements of German payroll accounting. In this way, we help companies to ensure seamless and consistent payroll processing worldwide.

How to succeed in gaining payroll expertise?

Companies often face a difficult situation when it comes to payroll: They need qualified staff, but the jobmarket is empty. The problem is that there is no specific training programme for payroll, many are career changers, the specialist knowledge required is extensive and the complexity of the subject is often underestimated. It takes at least 6 months to 2 years to train a good payroll specialist with basic knowledge. So what does it take to learn and work efficiently in this specialised industry?

  • Lifelong learning: Payroll is constantly changing, driven by technological advances and regular legislative changes. Lifelong learning is essential to keep up to date.

  • Hands-on learning: Alternating between theory and practice is essential. Our learning approaches integrate on-the-job learning, where practical experience regularly alternates with theoretical sessions. The practical application of what you learn is crucial, as every payroll is different.

  • Core competencies: It is important to understand the interrelationships within payroll processes and the interfaces between payroll systems, accounting and the legal framework. This includes employment law, social security law, income tax law and, where applicable, VAT law.

 

Our approach at the Payroll Academy is to promote a comprehensive understanding and to make you an expert in your field through practical application and continuous training.
