Frequently asked questions

Who is the Payroll Administration course suitable for and what prior knowledge do you need?

The Payroll Administration course is suitable for entrepreneurs, finance staff, HR staff and payroll administrators who are responsible for payroll administration and the payroll tax return. No specific prior knowledge is required. It is useful, however, if you have an affinity with figures and a basic knowledge of administrative processes. During the course you build up complete knowledge from the ground up.

Do you receive a certificate after the Payroll Administration course?

Yes, on completing the classroom-based Payroll Administration course you will receive a certificate of participation. This certificate shows that you attended both course days and have mastered the topics covered, such as gross-to-net calculations, payroll taxes, employee insurance contributions (Zvw, WIA) and allowances. It is a valuable addition to your CV for roles in HR, finance or payroll administration.

What will you learn on days 1 and 2 of the Payroll Administration course?

The Payroll Administration course lasts 2 days. On day 1 you learn how to set up a correct payroll administration using a practical step-by-step plan, and how to make a gross-to-net calculation. Day 2 focuses on deductions, levies, social security contributions (Zvw, WIA/WGA), employee insurance contributions, wage cost benefits and the permitted allowances and benefits in kind. You will also learn how the Belastingdienst checks these.

Is the Payroll Administration course taught in a classroom or online?

The Payroll Administration course is taught in the classroom, spread over two consecutive days. You follow the course in a small group, which leaves plenty of room to ask questions and discuss practical situations from your own work. The classroom set-up ensures direct interaction with the trainer and fellow participants, so you can immediately practise calculation examples, gross-to-net calculations and the step-by-step plan.

What course materials do you receive with the Payroll Administration course?

With the Payroll Administration course you receive a complete course book with theory, practical examples and a step-by-step plan for setting up your payroll administration correctly. You also work through exercises on gross-to-net calculations, deductions and allowances. During both course days there is ample opportunity to put your own practical questions to the experienced trainer.

What is the difference between Learnit's Payroll Administration course and self-study using the Belastingdienst manuals?

Self-study using the Belastingdienst's Handboek Loonheffingen is free, but you work your way through hundreds of pages of legislation on your own. Learnit's Payroll Administration course You are taught in a classroom setting by an experienced trainer and work with practical examples, including a step-by-step plan for setting up your payroll records and exercises with gross-to-net calculations. Topics such as employee insurance contributions, WIA, Zvw, payroll tax, payroll tax reductions and wage cost benefits are covered in a structured way. You can ask questions about your own situation straight away. Choose self-study if you only need to look something up occasionally; choose the course if you are responsible for the payroll administration and need a workable basis in a short space of time.

How do I know whether this course is enough, or whether I would be better off taking a full payroll administrator programme?

That depends on your role and ambitions. Learnit's Payroll Administration course lasts 2 days and gives you the basis to set up a payroll administration independently, make gross-to-net calculations and prepare the payroll tax return. That is sufficient for business owners, HR staff and finance staff who manage the payroll administration of a single company. If you want to work as a payroll administrator for several clients, for example at an accountancy firm, a multi-year professional programme such as PDL or VPS is more logical. Those go into greater depth on collective labour agreements, complex cases and employment law. Not sure? Many participants take this course first to test whether the field suits them, before investing in a longer programme.

How up to date is the content of the Payroll Administration course, given the annual changes to tax and social security legislation?

The Payroll Administration course is updated every year to reflect changes to payroll tax, employee insurance contributions, the WIA, the Zvw and the system of allowances and benefits in kind (including the work-related costs scheme). Day 2 includes a standing item, 'Current developments', in which the trainer covers recent legislative changes and changes to rates and threshold amounts. As a result, you will not be given figures from an out-of-date financial year, but the rules and amounts that apply at that moment. Compared with self-study using online manuals, this is an advantage: you receive the explanation in context and can ask questions about your own situation straight away. Do bear in mind that after the course you remain responsible for keeping up with future changes yourself, for example through newsletters from the Belastingdienst.
