HELP! Crash course in Payroll
OK, I'm in a pickle..
I've recently accepted a short term position (through a third party company, let's call them Company T) in the payroll department of a new employer (company X). I've done some minor payroll assistance through my HR roll, but nothing too indepth. I've also recently earned my B.S. in HR & BA, so I have a good amount of theoretical knowledge.
I was supposed to complete an assessment through company T to determine if I had enough skill to be considered for the position, but the hiring manager at company X determined I was skilled enough based on what my company T recruiter told her. Who knows how embellished this was. I now start the position in one day and am freaking out that they'll see how inexperienced I am and let me go, potentially damaging my company T relationship, and making me as ineligible for rehire at company X (I've applied for another position with them and am fully qualified for that one, so the stakes are high on the line).
What can I do or where can I go online to learn a few crash course basics to get through day 1? There is almost zero training opportunities at Company X for this position as it is temporary and requires intermediate payroll experience. I didn't get to read the job description as my recruiter at company T just verbally explained some of the requirements and asked if I was interested in being considered.
I'll add that I've quite proficient in many software programs, learn new things very quickly, and thrive in transferable knowledge situations. I know that after the first few days I'll probably be very adept at the job, but I'm not sure I'll make it that far before they find out that I don't have the amount of experience that they're looking for. Again, I wouldn't have even applied for it if I'd been able to read the job description and knew the extent of what I was signing up for.
