Description
Our "Xero Payroll Course" is one I wish was available to me when I was learning how to use Xero.
As I became proficient at Xero, I realised the need for an easy-to-follow payroll course for beginners.
So here you have it, a course that will step you through everything you need to know about setting up and using Xero’s payroll system.
---------------------
What will I learn from this course?
First, we will cover how to correctly set up your payroll settings. You will learn how to pay employees weekly, fortnightly or monthly and how to set up different public holidays for each Australian state and territory.
We will then learn how to set up different earnings pay items for ordinary hours, overtime hours and allowances, and how to set up deductions for salary sacrificing, union fees and more.
You will also see where to set up your employees’ regulated and self-managed superannuation funds.
After we finish the payroll settings, we go through the process of adding employees to payroll.
We then look at how to manage leave applications and how to manage timesheets for your casual staff.
We also run through the entire process of putting together and processing pay runs before learning how to pay your staff through online banking.
At various stages, we go into the My Payroll portal where your employees can go to see their payslips, submit timesheets and apply for leave.
Finally, we cover some important topics such as setting up Single Touch Payroll (STP), end of financial year reporting and how to pay out unused annual leave.
By the end of the course you should have the confidence and know-how to set up and run Xero payroll for your business.

Hi I'm Mark and I'm excited to be your instructor!
During my career as a qualified accountant I have been told many times that I am good at explaining things. I believe this is because I enjoy breaking down big problems into small parts and teaching people from the ground up.
I know from experience that it is always best to teach the basics first. Once my students have a solid foundation to build on, I can move on to the harder lessons. I love watching my students go from complete novices to experts who can confidently use their new skills in real life.
I also know from experience that students learn better when they actively follow tutorials or complete practical tests at the end of each lesson, which is one of the reasons I love Udemy courses.
There is no better way to learn than by doing.
My courses have been designed along those principles to give you the best chance possible of becoming a subject expert.
I hope my courses help you learn what you need to know to reach your full potential.
Happy learning!
