Good except for the technical problems. I'm thinking that this may have been a result of the Zoom update that happened just before the session began. This is the first time this has happened since I began attending My-CPE courses. I hope this gets corrected.

This is a really terrific course. I've done very little with payroll until now but I will start handling payroll on a regular basis going into the future and this course has provided me with the knowledge, confidence and resource to do so effectively.
