CEO pay ratios reporting

• This new requirement requires the collaboration of payroll, HR and finance professionals. This online course delves in more detail than the brief outline provided on Payroll update, enabling delegates to begin preparations and to calculate the ratios using recent data so organisations can ensure compliance and prepare themselves for the inevitable spotlight that will be shone on the published data.
