These practitioners must have excellent +knowledge of all areas for which they are responsible and be aware of the resources available +to provide advice and information. + +Larger organizations may have a distinct payroll department with specific payroll positions, +in addition to separate human resources, accounting and administration groups. Even in a +multi-departmental organization, payroll practitioners must have knowledge of the various +stages of the life cycle of an employee. From hiring through termination of employment, +many of these stages will impact how to produce the employee's pay and prepare required +reports. \ No newline at end of file
