Payroll IQ by Australian Payroll Association

THREE STEPS TO A CONFIDENT TEAM

How Payroll IQ works

A short diagnostic assessment pinpoints the gaps in each learner's payroll knowledge.

Payroll IQ generates a 90 day customised plan matching what each learner needs and nothing that they don't.

Learners follow a 90 day plan, making development a manageable part of their weekly routine. Their progress then shapes the next plan, creating continuous, measurable improvement.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers. Anything we have missed, ask us on the form.

No. The diagnostic and your first 90-day plan are the product from day one. You see your gaps and your plan the same week you sign up, so there is nothing "trial-sized" to give away.

You confirm your email, sit a diagnostic assessment (about 25 minutes), and Payroll IQ builds a 90-day plan from your results: strengths skipped, gaps scheduled week by week around the time you committed.
