Understanding Payroll Compliance for Business Analyst Technicians

Understanding Payroll Compliance for Business Analyst Technicians is a self-study course designed to equip learners with a foundational understanding of payroll and employment compliance issues relevant to small businesses in Canada.

While not intended to train payroll specialists, the course provides essential knowledge that enables Business Analyst Technicians to work effectively with accounting professionals in the preparation of financial statements. Students will gain insights into the legal and regulatory landscape that governs employment relationships, payroll obligations, and compliance practices.

The course explores key topics such as:

  • Employment law fundamentals across Canada’s ten provinces and three territories

  • The role of the Canada Labour Code and its interaction with provincial standards

  • The influence of British Common Law and the French Civil Code on Canadian labour regulations

  • How to identify and interpret applicable legislation for a client’s specific business context

By understanding the principles that underpin payroll and employment compliance, participants will be better prepared to recognize compliance risks, support small business clients, and collaborate effectively with accountants.

This course promotes practical competence — not specialization — emphasizing how and where to find accurate, up-to-date information in a constantly evolving legal environment.

Virtual Faculty

For each course, we employ very distinguished virtual faculty.

We can’t afford to pay them.

But our students do buy their books. All required texts are available as either e-books or audiobooks. Students can buy books in their choice of format. In that way, part of the proceeds eventually finds its way to the authors.

Entrepreneurial Advisors

Many business schools like to brag that they have an entrepreneur in residence. We don’t bother. They’re all over the web anyway. We seek them out and listen to what they have to say. If what they say makes sense, we just steal their ideas.
