Enhanced my payroll knowledge.
This was the continuing class to Payroll I. Both of these classes are a great introduction to learning the basics of the payroll process.
It’s a very helpful book. It explains everything very clearly.
Great tables on the W2 boxes.
Excellent
Enjoyed the material and instructions are easy to follow.
Excellent continuation of Payroll I. Working in payroll at a real estate company, this has helped me understand the payroll function much better.
Very useful and helpful
Great. Feel more areas could be covered though.
The course is wonderful. I like it
Helped me improve more, lots of exercises to practice
Great Course, I learned a lot
It was excellent
I am recently certified. Since one of my main job duties is payroll, I want to keep learning more in that area. Payroll II is very helpful with this. It covers taxable and non-taxable benefits and the reporting of them. It also covers other tax free and taxable employee expenses and information on employer provided vehicles, compensation plans and flexible benefit plans. I appreciate the information about the payment coverage for employee injuries and illnesses. There is additional help on tax-favored life insurance plans and on how to tax imputed and gross up income.
I found the course to be very informative and current
Good material.
Wonderful class – the information was well presented and presented in a way that makes learning easy.
Presently clearly and concisely with adequate examples.
book and materials are healpfull
Payroll II was a good course if you want to expand your knowledge of payroll and more in depth items.
Great book, detailed and useful .
Good book. I would think it could be more useful if Publication number was stated at beginning of each Chapter and an Index at the end of the Book. 
Helpful information. Easy-to-follow learning procedure. Would recommend for those doing payroll. About half the book contains samples of a lot of the forms.
This was an excellent course. The information was as clear as you can make government laws. The Quizzes were formatted/worded in such a way that it really cemented the information in my mind.
a couple of the questions were not clearly worded
More explanations on garnishments.
All AIPB courses are great and this one is not an exception. I enjoyed my studies, very useful, covers all the material and easy to follow. I always go back through the pages just to “refresh my memory”. Very satisfied.
The books are comprehensive and thorough, and capable of preparing one adequately for the duties of payroll (and payroll-specific examinations) if one puts in the necessary time to read and study.
Nice focus on advanced situations related to payroll deductions. Wording of some of the questions was confusing when related to W-2 boxes 12 & 14.
Very we’ll illustrated great examples and exercise
