National Payroll Week
Endorsement by Jesse Norman MP, financial secretary to the Treasury “I am pleased to support the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals’ annual National Payroll Week. Payroll professionals play an important role in supporting the UK economy by collecting tax and National Insurance contributions, and CIPP’s work in encouraging and educating employers has had a positive impact on implementing wider government policy, including in the difficult times presented by the coronavirus pandemic. “This year the theme for National Payroll Week is Keeping the UK paid, and with over eight million employees having been furloughed at some stage since March this could not be more apt. I am grateful for the dedication of payroll professionals in rising to the challenges COVID-19 has brought. I am delighted to support the week and encourage as many employers as possible to take part.”

NATIONAL PAYROLLWEEK CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION We are proud to say our first virtual National Payroll Week Conference was a huge success, and the feedback from delegates has been testament to this. Now in its fifth year, the National Payroll Week Conference took place on 10 September completely online.
10 SEPTEMBER | SCOTLAND
The conference was joined by payroll, pension and reward professionals from across the country. With a whole day of insightful sessions and Q&A panels from some of the most knowledgeable industry experts in the profession as well as an incredible motivational session by our very own Dr Sue Smith, education director at the CIPP. This was the conference’s first year under its new name of National Payroll Week Conference and the chair of the CIPP board Jason Davenport started the day introducing the conference and summarising how well National Payroll Week had gone so far. Following Jason’s introduction, HMRC representatives discussed both the coronavirus job retention scheme and the job retention bonus scheme and then entered a live Q&A session with delegates posing burning questions. In the afternoon, the conference featured a CIPP payroll legislation update, and then finished with the CIPP policy team along with Jason Davenport taking and answering questions that had come in from delegates during the day. PORTFOLIO PAYROLL – MAIN SPONSOR This year, we are extremely proud to be sponsoring National Payroll Week during one of the most challenging periods for the payroll profession. As keyworkers, payroll professionals have worked tirelessly to keep the UK paid over the past five months and we want to dedicate National Payroll Week to all the ‘payroll heroes’ who carried on working and went that extra mile. Moving the celebrations online this year gives us the opportunity to embrace new technologies while creating new experiences, and it’s a reminder how far the payroll industry has come as it adapts to the changing world. But most of all we look forward to seeing how the payroll teams up and down the country are celebrating!
