CIPP update
Celebrating 40 years of supporting payroll professionals OVER THE last month we have been continuing our journey into the history of the Institute. We have been fortunate to have welcomed some of our founding members to the CIPP’s offices in both London and Solihull. They have been telling their stories and reasons for working so hard to establish a professional body and professional qualifications in payroll. We are still collating interviews and look forward to sharing these with members later in the year. Thank you to those members who have been sending in memorabilia and documentation relating to the early days of the CIPP. The adjacent images show ties and shirts previously available to members. These contributions are very much appreciated and are fundamental in putting together an overview of our history and the history of the profession. Following last month’s brief outline of activities from 1980–85, this month looks at some of the significant changes from 1985–87, specifically: October 1985 Introduction of different bands for National Insurance contributions October 1985 The first payroll manager’s seminar for the private sector was held January 1986 Inaugural meeting of the British Payroll Manager’s Association (BPMA) April 1987 Introduction of payroll giving and statutory maternity pay If you are able to support the CIPP in documenting our history, and a brief history of payroll, please contact vickie.graham@cipp.org.uk . A full CIPP timeline and history will be released at the end of 2020.

THE CIPP has been named within The Sunday Times Top 100 Not for Profit Organisations to Work for in 2020. This is an important achievement and we are delighted to have been named within this list for the fourth time.

We are proud to work with organisations like the CIPP who focus on their people and as such have been rewarded with an engaged workforce who tell us that they’re a best company to work for.” Shirley Harris, CIPP HR and payroll manager, commented: “We are very proud to have been named...not least because it is our employees who respond to the survey to make this happen. Our one-team culture is very important to the CIPP and this accreditation demonstrates our commitment to achieving excellence in this area.”
