Examining over 60 facets of your payroll operations, the scheme is consistently evolving and not only shows that lifelong learning and development is planned and encouraged, but that you’re dedicated to compliance and best practice in payroll, a huge accolade for staff, as well as ensuring procurement is much easier.

Testimonials Hear from a few of our accredited organisations, on how PAS has benefited them:
Education Personnel Management Limited:
University Hospitals Birmingham National Health Service (NHS) Foundation Trust: “I’m extremely proud of University Hospitals Birmingham (UHB) NHS Foundation Trust Payroll department for being awarded this important accolade. The PAS accreditation provides reassurance when sourcing a payroll provider to know that the organisation operates to a certain high standard. “There are many benefits of being a PAS accredited employer. For employees, it shows that staff are being trained to a high standard. It shows we’re consistently able to deliver a high quality and robust payroll service to UHB and our customers, and this couldn’t have been achieved without the constant hard work from the department. It’s a reflection of the great work of the payroll team. Well done.” Tina Phillips ACIPP, head of payroll.
Skanska:
“As a company, we’re delighted to receive our PAS re-accreditation – not only does it assure us that our processes are compliant, but it also provides excellent learning and development opportunities for our employees to continue progressing in the field. EPM has embarked on many changes since our last certification, so it’s an absolute pleasure to see the positive outcomes acknowledged, particularly given the adaptation of our services to schools during the lockdown period. “Thank you for the valuable feedback, alongside the support provided by our CIPP assessor, which has helped to support our continuous improvement and secure EPM’s future in payroll operation.”
“Skanska is a leading project development and construction group, active in selected markets in the Nordic region, central Europe and the United States. As a values- based organisation, our purpose is to build for a better society, including our vision to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2045. A smooth payroll process is crucial to any organisation. “Skanska UK is delighted and proud to receive PAS accreditation from the CIPP. It recognises that Skanska UK’s payroll department operates to the very highest standards, allowing us to continue delivering great projects for our customers.”
