Follow-up - May 2010 (Diploma in Payroll Management)
After such a lengthy lay-off from my studies I was unsure as to whethner you could still source the IAB Payroll Sample Assessment answers, but as ever you came up trumps.  I can honestly say that all the staff at Ideal Schools are a good example to us all in business in their dealing with students and "oldies" alike. Best Wishes to you all. "
