Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I am a payroll and pensions apprentice and this involves checking pay slips, adding AEO's/DEA's/fines ect to our employees deductions if requested. supporting our employees by handling payroll and pensions forms and query's via email or phone.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy the program very much. It has given me the opportunity to extend my knowledge on payroll and pensions individually but also as a group. I enjoy the creativity and freedom I can have whilst doing my assignments.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learnt many new skills including how to correctly work out tax, NI and pension contributions from someone's wage. I have learnt all about the different types of parental leave and how to input this onto the system. I have learnt about salary sacrifices and detachment of earnings orders.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The program is extremely well organized. I believe this is partly because of my tutor who always ensures that everything is ready for our sessions. The structure of the program was known to me for the whole 18 months in advance and is very statically placed to link with the activity's I do in the workplace.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive lots of support from my employer. They respond ask to any queries or questions that I may have and always provide constructive criticism on my assignments and allow me to the time to perfect my work.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
The support from my tutor is some of the best support I have. She responds very fast to my emails and even helped me get my student discount. She is very knowledgeable about payroll having worked in that profession herself to I believe this helps when she is teaching.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I feel that my my qualification links in well with my role. What I learn though my training provider I can then use in my work place and know that the information I have learnt is accurate.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
As an apprentice i have joined in with apprentice event to meet new people and to help raise money for charities.
