 Welcome to Unit 1 of PRDV204 – Payroll Applications. This course begins by helping you understand the process for establishing the relationship between a business and its workers from three different perspectives. We will familiarize you with the common terms of the payroll and accounting world. For example, what is the difference between a worker, an employee and a contractor? You will also learn the different classifications of employees. How does a company determine who is a part-time employee and who is a temporary employee? Or, what qualifies a person as a seasonal employee? This unit will also touch on minimum wage and overpay regulations as stipulated by federal and state law. This unit should take you approximately three hours to complete. Remember to take notes and I'll see you at the beginning of Unit 2.
