EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Payslip Statistics Report is one of the CIPP’s flagship surveys which explores trends impacting payroll processes, payslips and compliance. The research has been conducted on an annual basis since 2008 and continues to confirm and discover practices in payroll. The policy and research team is responsible for collating the research and is thankful to everyone who took the time to respond to the survey to generate the results in this report. These contributions are vital to ensure the results are representative of the payroll industry. Each year, topical questions are included in the survey. This year, we have included two questions provided by the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) on how your organisation supports employee financial wellbeing. MaPS aim to understand what workplace support is available now and what more needs to be done to enable this in the years to come. For the 2023 report, the policy team performed a data restructure to align the dates presented in the report. Some years, the date was represented as a tax year format, i.e. 2012/13, and in others it was represented as the year it was published i.e. 2008. For consistency purposes, the dates have been amended to represent the year the data was gathered. This feels the correct way to present the data, rather than the tax year it was obtained in. We will continue to compare the last 7 years of data in the report; however, the dates may look inconsistent due to the restructure. The 2024 survey was open for six weeks from 5 February to 15 March 2024, and this year saw a 22% increase in responses compared to 2023. The Policy team is delighted that so many payroll professionals have taken part again this year and hope the trend will continue to grow, with more valuable insights being provided each year. NB: When discussing percentage changes, we are referring to the overall percentage that question response received. For example; monthly payrolls have decreased by 5% - this shows last year 50% of respondents ran a monthly payroll, whereas this year it’s decreased to 45%.
