CharteredMembers THE CIPP is delighted to welcome our latest Chartered Member, following the panel meeting in March. Louise Gray ChMCIPP, payroll manager operations and delivery at PwC has become our first Chartered Member based in Belfast. Chartered membership demonstrates the highest level of professional membership in the industry, and recognises those individuals who have worked hard to raise the profile of payroll and their professional standing through education and continuing professional development. It demonstrates to employers that you are committed to keeping up to date and raising the standards of best practice within the industry. During March, the CIPP also successfully launched Chartered Member dinners and the Chartered Member committee. These two initiatives have been introduced to provide Chartered Members with additional networking opportunities and a forum to influence the future direction and profile of the CIPP.
Level seven apprenticeship launched WHILE CELEBRATING twenty years since our first cohort graduated with the MSc in Payroll, we are delighted to announce our new collaboration. Accredited by Loughborough University the MSc in Strategic Leadership is a new programme taught by CIPP tutors working within the profession. The uniqueness of this qualification is that it is targeted at professionals working in a mutual sector, with tutors drawing on their experiences from within the industry. We are also delighted that working with Loughborough University we can offer this programme through the traditional MSc route, as well as an apprenticeship route. The content will be the same regardless of the route taken, with the benefit of allowing employers the opportunity to take advantage of the apprenticeship levy, removing potential cost barriers. This level seven qualification, which requires strategic thinking and independent learning, is designed to equip the future leaders of tomorrow with the skills and knowledge they need to: ● add strategic value to their organisation We chose to partner with Loughborough University because of their substantial experience in the delivery of professional development programmes and their consistently high rankings within the top ten UK business schools by national league tables. These fit with the CIPP’s core values and quality objectives in relation to delivery of professional education to the payroll, pensions and reward professions.

Payslip distribution report – sponsored by Datagraphic THE CIPP has been conducting research into the long-term trends affecting payroll and payslips since 2008. The policy and research team would like to thank all those who responded, as we would not be able to undertake this research each year without the support and input from our members and the profession. The Institute extends thanks to Datagraphic for supporting this report, which can be found here: http://bit.ly/2K6iAqJ. This annual research looks at the number of people being paid, the frequency with which they are paid, how the payslips are distributed; as well as looking at the potential benefits brought by use of electronic payslips and the emergence of technology in the payroll profession. The statistics span a period of great change, both generally within the UK – including the economic recession and the vote to leave the EU – and more specifically within the payroll industry with the introduction of real time information and automatic enrolment. The report identifies key findings: ● monthly remains the most common frequency ● Friday continues to be the most common payday ● over a third use payslips to deliver other information to employees ● more than 95% of respondents say they use some form of electronic methods for distributing payslips. ● improve managerial business understanding ● lead and influence a team with confidence ● understand the challenges of change management ● effectively manage strategic projects.

Associate, Full, Fellow and Chartered Members will be sent one copy of the book as part of a new tax year pack which is an additional benefit for these grades.
