YEAR ON YEAR PAYSLIP TRENDS
Number of employees / pensioners paid This is a key question included within each edition of the Payslip Statistics Survey and requires respondents from an in- house payroll environment to calculate how many employees there are in total across the payrolls that they operate. If the respondent originates from a bureau background, then they will need to add up the total number of employees spanning all their clients’ payrolls. In the period between the 2015-16 and the 2018 reports, there was a significant increase to the numbers of employers paying up to and including 50 staff. Those businesses employing between 51 and 1,000 staff decreased during this time. In 2019, the increased practice of businesses paying up to 50 staff appeared to stop, with figures more aligned to those witnessed between 2012 and 2014. For the current year, however, it is evident there has been a slight increase in the levels of companies paying less than 50 staff (as seen in 2018) and a slight decrease to the figures for those paying between 51 and 1,000 employees and similarly, to those paying between 1,0001 and 10,000 employees. The number of organisations paying over 100,000 staff sits more in line with 2018 figures, and there has arguably been an increase in this practice between the 2019 and 2020 reports.
It could be plausible to state that the impacts of coronavirus may have played a key role in the number of employees companies paid over the duration of 2020.
