CIPP update
Living wage employer
PAS accredited organisations BUPA PAYROLL Services, Tameside MBC and ePayMe have all successfully achieved the prestigious Payroll Assurance Scheme (PAS) accreditation. Ken Pullar, CIPP chief executive
THE CIPP is delighted to have been accredited as a living wage employer, which means every member of staff working for the CIPP will earn a real living wage.
The real living wage, which is higher than the statutory national living wage, is an independently calculated hourly rate of pay based on the actual cost of living. It is calculated annually and announced by the Living Wage Foundation (www. livingwage.org.uk) as part of Living Wage Week. The real living wage for 2018–19 is £9.00 per hour in the UK, with a higher rate of £10.55 per hour for London, reflecting the higher costs of living in the capital. Over 4,700 organisations, including the CIPP, voluntarily choose to pay the real living wage because we believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay. Salary sacrifice / OpRA course delivery THE CIPP’S popular salary sacrifice and other optional remuneration arrangements (OpRA) course has been developed and designed following member feedback to incorporate blended learning. The CIPP’s blended learning courses integrate traditional classroom-based learning methods with online learning through the use of digital technology. They are divided into three parts: ● Part one: online activities comprising reading (with a narrated version), examples and knowledge tests, and consideration of current practices in the delegate’s own organisations. ● Part two: trainer-led classroom session reviewing part one content, and examining the full course content in detail with examples and exercises, including the use of digital tools where appropriate. ● Part three: online activities including further reading (with an audio version), exercises and knowledge tests. The CIPP’s online activities are delivered through a Moodle platform that is accessible to delegates for a time before and after the classroom session. Course materials, delivered through the Moodle platform or distributed by the trainer, include: ● a handout that contains the part one and part three reading material and supporting material for part two ● a copy of the presentation used in part two ● exercises handouts including answers ● a printable version of the online activities, including answers.
