As far as I'm aware, AAT don't offer a payroll course. Just had a quick look and Pitman and IAB offer one. You could also look at CIPP but, from what I've read, it's very expensive.

You wont see any more on payroll Lee on AAT. Despite the fact that you might see the odd course for £29 (dont do it!) its a very involved subject. Lots of people do it with formal training but have a great working knowledge of HMRC, plus at least some with regards to employment law. If you are thinking of doing any I would look at CIPP, but perhpas once you have finished AAT.

Thoughts are my own/not to be regarded as official advice,which should be sought from a suitably qualified Accountant.

On some occasions definately not Sue, but you would be surprised at what you can dragged into. I had a client who was blatantly trying to rip staff off re their holiday entitlement and would often try all sorts, despite them having a written contract. Needless to say I put him right a few times, before I swiftly dumped him as a client!
Certainly there are occasions when you need to know some of the basic rights to be able to set the system up properly.

Just out of curiosity, if an employee didn't take all their holidays in a holiday year, is it the employers responsibility to ensure the holidays are taken? It came up on a legal newsgroup a few months ago and one of the posters was saying it was, and I disagree with it, but have no idea on the legal standing.

It's the employers responsibility to tell you how much you can take (split between bank holidays and not/pro rated if necessary/rules as to when they can be taken etc) but it's my understanding is that it's the employees responsibility to use the holiday quota up. I could be wrong. Not really something I've read up on specifically but based on my time with one of the big four banks when it was use or lose and we had no reminders.
