Payroll Consultant Review

My title is Payroll Consultant, this involves helping the client and employees with queries regarding pay. I also input data into the payroll, for example court orders and P45s. Pay day is always the busiest day of the month whereby I help employees with their pay queries or any tax issues, how tax is calculated. It keeps me up to date with the latest legislation and I can pass this on to others.

I have learnt how to use a Bespoke payroll system on a day to day basis, I have further developed my customer service skills and I will gain a Level 2 in payroll when I have finished my course.

I really enjoy my programme. It has taken a few months to settle in due to a big change in career as previously moving from retail.

I do feel valued by CGI and by my fellow team members. They have helped with my progress.

Quite structured. So far my assessor will come into the business roughly every 8 weeks. She is always there on the phone or via email if needed.

A great deal when I require it.

Good support, help is always there whenever I request it.

My salary is lower than my previous but as an apprentice I did expect this. I am still able to afford living costs.

I have not yet attended any company events

Yes

Lots of benefits such as good pension scheme, shares scheme.

Be confident and show previous experience and knowledge. Research the company before hand. Show a will to succeed.
