The role of the payroll professional today

Thu, Aug 20, 2015

Payroll is a vital function in every company, yet the vast majority of payroll personnel have no formal payroll qualifications.

Dealing with ever changing Revenue, social welfare, and employment legislation, working to strict deadlines, being proficient in the use of IT, and dealing with myriad queries from employees and management, means that the role of payroll personnel is a highly demanding one, whether operating as a one-man payroll department, or as a member of a payroll team in a large multinational.

Is your child struggling with maths? Try a free two week trial with First Class Learning

Thu, Jun 04, 2015

One of the keys to success in maths is having a solid fluency in the foundational maths skills that are taught in primary school. Too often, students do not get sufficient practice at the different basic skills and so lack confidence needed to tackle the more complex ideas that appear in secondary mathematics and beyond. Students lack the necessary fluency and feel that they are “no good at maths”. 

Maths skills build one on top of the other starting with addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and division with remainders. It is only when the core skills are sufficiently secure that the student can proceed onto more complex computation in fractions, decimals, percentages, and algebra. Mastering maths is similar to mastering the piano — the growth of each skill is gradual and cumulative, each new improvement being built upon earlier achievements.
