Tax-free charitable giving THE CIPP is proud to have received the Payroll Giving Gold Award this year, in recognition of more than ten per cent of its employees supporting charities through payroll giving. The Institute meets the agency monthly administration fee thereby ensuring employees’ full donations go to their chosen charity. Shirley Harris, CIPP’s head of human
resources and payroll, commented “It’s great that so many of the team are contributing to charities and causes close to their hearts, and that their contribution is worth a little bit more through payroll giving.” Every employer that offers a payroll giving scheme to their employees is eligible to receive a Quality Mark, which can be annually applied for from their contracted payroll giving agency. Contact details for the UK’s main payroll giving agencies and professional fundraising organisations can be found at www.apgo.org.uk/members. GDPR roundtable IN PREPARATION for the coming into force of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on 25 May 2018, the CIPP have been holding roundtable events. The purpose of these is to bring together a broad spectrum of leaders representing the payroll industry to help shape a standard practice to guide our profession. As momentum builds, the CIPP wants many payroll and pension professionals to get involved and join the forum. To express your interest email events@cipp.org.uk. Breaches of the GDPR can lead to fines up to the higher of 4% of annual global turnover or 20 million Euros. Can you afford not to act now? National Payroll Week 2017 THIS YEAR, National Payroll Week (NPW) runs from 4th to 8th September. This year’s Spotlight on Payroll recognises and celebrates not only the impact of payroll on business, but also the contribution that payroll makes to the UK economy. ● Payroll contributes £418 million to the UK economy through the collection of income tax and National Insurance contributions. ● Payroll is the largest expenditure in most UK organisations and therefore should be managed by qualified professionals. ● Payroll can save employees money through salary sacrifice and other arrangements which improves employee motivation and morale. For NPW, whether it’s encouraging employees to visit the payroll department to understand their payslip, or setting up an information booth, it’s time to help put the spotlight on payroll. Last year over 2,000 organisations participated, making it the biggest NPW; for NPW
