It’s September again, and time to celebrate National Payroll Week (NPW) with payroll professionals, regardless of organisation size, type or industry. Let’s continue to raise our profile by being ambassadors of the profession and assessing the last few years to see how payroll has had to adapt and change.
I’m sure most of you have experienced massive change (the coronavirus job retention scheme, or CJRS, immediately springs to mind). With the introduction of CJRS, and constant changes during its short lifecycle, payroll teams were required to stay alert to understand, decipher and implement the new rules as they were announced. Payroll teams worked many extra hours, at a time when others were being given time off because they couldn’t work. Real time information (RTI) was another big change. How did we manage before RTI, as we now submit pay information to Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs on a regular basis, balancing and reconciling as we go? The tax year end now passes us by without any major hiccups or months of preparation, planning and worry. With the progress of payrolling of benefits, we can look forward to smoother waters in the future here too. Technology is constantly developing and changing with upgrades to systems, the introduction of the cloud, robotic process automation and the use of bots now moving up the agenda. How many of you continued with the progress of a new system implementation and launched during Covid? That’s testament to the dedication and commitment of payroll professionals. There’s also been massive changes in pensions, with the introduction of automatic enrolment. Although it’s now been in place for several years, some systems (depending on the pension provider) don’t yet fully manage automation. This means some tasks must be completed manually. There are now so many more employees in pension schemes, it’s become the norm and no longer the exception. Happy NPW, enjoy the celebrations and share them with us.
