How can I practise processing payroll for a leaver?

Payroll content is coming to Hey Monika very soon. The Deskless Phoenix — arriving on the platform shortly — is a small-employer bookkeeping Scenario that includes payroll elements, including the kind of leaver situations that come up in a real employer context: an employee leaving mid-month, a final payslip calculation, and the paperwork required to process the leaver correctly.

Guest Digital Lab — a dedicated small-employer payroll scenario — is also coming back to the platform shortly, and will give you more focused payroll leaver practice in a fuller client context.

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