Payroll Processing Masterclass
Teacher: Maria Elena Santos
About this course
This masterclass walks payroll practitioners through a complete Philippine payroll run, from validating attendance and time records to publishing payslips and releasing funds to the bank. You will work through the real decisions payroll officers face every cutoff, including overtime, night differential, and holiday premium computations.
The course also covers the statutory deduction landscape - SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and BIR withholding tax - along with the approval workflow and audit trail that protect your company during a labor or BIR inspection.
- Validate attendance and DTR data before a payroll run
- Compute overtime, night differential, and holiday premium pay correctly
- Apply SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and withholding tax deductions
- Route payroll for multi-level approval before release
- Publish payslips and prepare a bank disbursement file
- Maintain audit-ready payroll records under RA 10173

4.5The overtime and night differential module finally made the stacking rules click for me after years of guessing. I used the framework the very next cutoff and caught two miscalculations before release.
Solid, practical content especially on segregation of duties. I would have liked a bit more detail on handling retroactive salary adjustments, but overall very useful.
As someone transitioning from bookkeeping into payroll, this course gave me a clear mental map of the whole cycle instead of just isolated tasks. The bank export module alone saved me from a duplicate payout mistake.
Good foundational material, though some sections felt a bit fast for someone completely new to payroll. Had to rewatch the tax module twice to fully absorb it.
The instructor explains the SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG sections in a way that finally made sense of why our payroll system configuration looked the way it did. Highly recommend for anyone maintaining a payroll module.
Our HR team now runs approvals exactly the way this course describes, and our last DOLE inspection went smoothly because our audit trail was already in order.
