COMPLIANCE
Payroll Assurance Scheme (PAS)
The prestigious gold standard accreditation for your payroll processes and people Developed in partnership with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and launched in 2012, the PAS is the only industry kitemark to ensure your payroll processes and people are compliant and robust. 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.
Every issue we want to recognise and celebrate those organisations which have successfully achieved, or retained, their accreditation. This month we would like to congratulate: ● Entrust Support Services Limited (new)
● Ceridian Europe Ltd rebranded as Dayforce (re-accreditation) ● East Midlands Shared Services (EMSS) (re-accreditation) ● Liberty Global Shared Services Limited (new).
Our chief executive officer, Jason Davenport, said, “Huge congratulations to all the organisations that have achieved or retained their PAS accreditation. This process takes time and effort but is crucial in demonstrating commitment to your teams, customers and to the payroll industry.”
TESTIMONIALS Hear from a few of our accredited organisations, on how PAS has benefited them.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP: “We’re absolutely thrilled to have obtained this accreditation for our UK payroll services team. The PAS is a gold standard award in the payroll industry, and it was hugely important for us to obtain this. Not only does it demonstrate our commitment to our staff in terms of continuous learning and development, but our clients can also be assured that we’re dedicated to compliance and best practices in the payroll industry.”
Tesco Bengaluru Private Limited: “Achieving the PAS accreditation has elevated the profile of the payroll team by showcasing that our payroll processes and capabilities met and exceeded key standards required within the UK payroll industry, giving us the confidence that the services we provide are of the highest level. This validates our efforts over the years of implementing efficient processes through validations and reconciliations, continuous improvement and automation, along with strong collaboration and robust governance processes. “The accreditation process was well organised and the guidance from the assessor in understanding the requirements helped us compile all the required evidence and conduct the assessment smoothly.”
Thomson Cooper Accountants: “Having the CIPP’s PAS accreditation is a great endorsement of our payroll team's dedication and commitment to delivering payroll services of the highest standard. “Maintaining our accredited status helps keep us focussed on continuous improvement and learning. It allows us to differentiate our payroll outsourcing and recognises our robust payroll processes and procedures, aimed at ensuring our clients receive the best possible service.”
