Does Hey Monika cover payroll?

Payroll content is on the way. The Deskless Phoenix — coming to the platform very soon — is Hey Monika's small-employer payroll Scenario: it puts you in the role of bookkeeper for a remote-working employer and includes payroll tasks alongside other bookkeeping work, reflecting how payroll actually comes up in a junior bookkeeping or practice role.

Guest Digital Lab — a dedicated small-employer payroll scenario run by Roger and Claire Guest — is also coming back to the platform shortly, and will give you payroll practice in a fuller client-relationship context, including the kind of payroll bureau work trainees often encounter before they've had a chance to run payroll for a real employer.

Check heymonika.com/resource-hub/library for the latest on when both are available.
