The demands on a payroll professional are extensive. Beyond simply handing out checks on a biweekly or monthly basis, payroll specialists are responsible for knowing the complex ins and outs of the field, including tax reductions, health benefit implications, paid time off and much more. Formal payroll training will help them to manage these responsibilities properly and meet local, state and federal standards.

In addition, the payroll field is constantly evolving to meet technological advancements. Payroll personnel continue switching from paper to electronic accounting, which comes with a learning curve and many new functions of its own. Proper training can help them to use electronic systems to their full potential.

Finally, earning a payroll certification reflects a specialists' credentials and work ethic. It demonstrates a commitment to excellence that current or future employers look for.
