Ground yourself in HR operations fundamentals before tackling payroll, benefits, employee

Covers universal operational concepts that apply across jurisdictions: payroll processing
workflows (gross pay, deductions, net pay, reconciliation), benefits administration basics
(health, retirement, leave programs), HRIS system functionality and data management, employee
lifecycle stages (pre-boarding through retirement) and key processes, policy documentation
standards and best practices, compliance reporting overview, and employee relations
fundamentals (investigations, disciplinary processes, documentation requirements). Includes
US-specific sub-primer covering detailed payroll tax obligations (FICA, FUTA, SUTA rates and
thresholds), US benefits regulations (ACA compliance, COBRA continuation, 401k specifics,
FMLA), detailed US compliance reporting (EEO-1 filing requirements, ACA forms 1094-C/1095-C),
and US-specific operational thresholds and deadlines.
