The Payroll Administrator Diploma Program is offered in cooperation with the Canadian Payroll Association and provides students with an understanding of manual & computerized accounting payroll systems and the ability to apply this knowledge to business situations. Professional Payroll administration is mission-critical because of the magnitude of the remuneration by employers and the breadth of the legislative compliance requirements. One and a half million Canadian employers count on payroll professionals to annually pay 730 billion dollars in wages, 230 million in statutory remittances, and over 80 billion in health and retirement benefits, while complying with more than 185 federal and provincial legislative requirements.
This program prepares the student to step quickly and competently into a payroll administration role. Students will deal with ever changing legislation and regulations, apply the right withholdings, issue pay and report back to the government according to regulated schedule. Students will also learn to consider the needs of employees for a timely and accurate payroll. Students of this program will also benefit from becoming an official member of the Canadian Payroll Association.
