Best Apprenticeship Employer

7.9/10

1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I process the pay for approx 650 employees. I input the payments/deductions for each employee into the payroll system each month. In addition to this I do several checks to make sure everything balances, answer queries and other ad hoc tasks.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I had never been involved in payroll before so I have learnt the whole processes for the job role. Alongside this I have been learning more about payroll through the apprenticeship lessons. I have also learnt how to use Excel to help gather information from several spreadsheets using Vlookup.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I have really enjoyed the workshops, where I have been able to gain lots of knowledge on the payroll processes. This has helped me in the job role as I am able to apply what I have learnt.

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

My employer has been very supportive, making sure that I am given time to complete my coursework. I am shortly due to take my end point assessments and my employer is giving me extra time for revision so that I have the best chance of gaining the qualification.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

The qualification gives me the knowledge behind the processes I perform, which helps me to understand the role better. It also helps me to be able to answer queries that I may receive.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There is an abundance of activities to get involved in within my workplace. There are committees to join and several fundraising and awareness activities as well as social events.
