CIPP update

Off -payroll working (IR35) Mediumand large organisations in all sectors of the economy will become responsible for assessing the employment status of individuals whowork for them.

Congratulations to the newly accredited PAS organisations THE CIPP’s Payroll Assurance Scheme (PAS) is designed to test your payroll processes in relation to payroll processing, compliance and the people skills and development opportunities. One of the most important elements is ensuring business continuity plans are in place and effective should they be required. Given recent events, congratulations to all organisations that have achieved this accreditation and will have been able to put those plans into action. Special congratulations to our recently accredited organisations: ● Bupa UK Payroll Services ● Willis Towers Watson Ken Pullar, CIPP chief executive officer, said: “Never has it been more important for businesses to have good payroll processes, knowledge and skills that enable them to implement new government legislation and guidance quickly. Congratulations to those organisations that have recently demonstrated just that.” The Payroll Assurance Scheme is still operating, with assessments currently operating virtually. To find out how the Payroll Assurance Scheme can benefit your organisation, email compliance@cipp.org.uk . ● Payslip survey – This month also sees the launch of our annual payslip survey. The survey helps us to create a trends report, highlighting payslip trends, the contents of different payslips, how easily companies have been able to itemise payslips and whether helps software has needed to be implemented. To find out more and to take part in the payslip survey, keep an eye on your CIPP emails, our website, and our social media channels. ● P11Ds, expenses and benefits course – New opportunities bring new ideas and new plans. If you’re thinking of upgrading the knowledge and skills of yourself and your team, then our new P11Ds, expenses and benefits course could be of interest. Designed to ensure that those in payroll and finance can calculate and report accurately and with confidence: www.cipp.org.uk/course/p11ds-expenses-and- benefits. WE HOPE you are all looking forward to the fresh new shoots of spring and the new opportunities it promises. Whatever new opportunities the spring brings, we are here to help, so don’t hesitate to contact us: enquiries@cipp.org.uk . ● Price freeze – To help with these new opportunities, we’re pleased to announce that we’ve frozen our prices this year, so you can access our events and training courses at the same price as last year. We reduced the prices at the end of last year and these reduced prices stay around for a while longer (please see cipp.org. uk/T&Cs/ ). This could be the opportunity you or your team are looking for, to take advantage of the great value payroll training courses currently on offer. ● Annual General Meeting – On 31 March we will be holding our annual general meeting (AGM).

The business of the AGM will be to elect directors to the board, to approve the accounts for year ending 30 June 2020 and to elect the auditors, amongst other business. If eligible, you can book your place, support the Chartered institute, and cast your vote online: www.cipp.org.uk/my-cipp/annual-general-meeting. ● Software directory – You’ll have noticed that with this issue you will find our annual software directory – a handy reference tool if you or your organisation are thinking of changing your software provider.
