The continuing education course "Lohn und Gehalt mit DATEV" teaches you the legal basics of payroll accounting. You learn how to implement them practically in the DATEV software. You deal with social security law, wage tax law and the different types of wages. You also learn how to take digital processes and data protection into account for payroll and personnel-related data.
In the course, you create and maintain client and employee master data in DATEV. This ranges from client setup to employee groups such as trainees, mini-jobs or managing directors. You calculate additions and deductions, such as supplements, one-time payments, benefits in kind or the company pension scheme. At the end, you handle the payroll accounting up to the month-end closing.
Another part focuses on digital collaboration with DATEV Unternehmen online and DATEV Arbeitnehmer online. You record monthly data digitally, exchange personnel documents and map attendance and absences digitally.
Classes are held live with an instructor via alfaview® video technology, either from home or at the local training center. You learn in small groups of 6 to 25 participants. In full-time, you have classes in the mornings and afternoons; in part-time, only in the mornings.
The course is suitable for people with commercial or legal training, as well as employees in financial accounting and bookkeeping. Tax consultants, auditors, entrepreneurs and office staff are also part of the target group.
At the end, you create a practical project work with a final presentation and take the certification exam "DATEV-Anwender Lohn und Gehalt". For the exam, you need to register via the learning platform DATEV Students online. You will receive the DATEV certificate as well as a DATEV education partner participation certificate.
What is special is that you deal with the limits of AI for payroll and personnel-related data. You also learn about AI as a calculation tool for complex payroll cases.
