Introducing Academy 🎉: your go-to hub for all things payroll

Hello! We're thrilled to launch our newest payroll resource hub - Academy by Zoho Payroll [for India] - the information repository where you can go to learn everything about payroll.

Introducing Academy by Zoho Payroll

Why did we build Academy?

Payroll is a complicated process that needs years of experience and constant monitoring to ace it every time. Not everyone starts out as an expert. Be it a beginner payroll professional, HR associate, or a business owner, everyone needs a helping hand to understand tax laws, execute payroll smoothly, pay employees on time, and file returns.

While many of you payroll professionals are experts yourselves, there is always more to learn. And keeping yourself up-to-date with all tax and labour laws is a perpetual task. Now you have Academy to help you with it. To sum it up, Academy is for anyone who runs payroll.

What's inside it?

Topics: We categorized information into different topics on payroll and topics closely related to it. Take your pick and start learning.

Content types: Some things are easy to read, some are easy to watch. We've curated information in different forms - articles, e-books, videos, infographics, and more!

Glossary: Coming across a payroll term for the first time? The glossary has a repository of 100+ terms.

Search for anything: If you can't find what you're looking for, use the search bar and type in what you need directly.

It's a growing payroll library

Like every other pursuit of Zoho, Academy too is for the long term.

We will keep adding more guides, decoding more tax and labour laws, and continue providing exclusive industry insights. Bookmark Academy on your browser. Your new library for all things payroll.
