NATIONAL PAYROLL WEEK
CIPP’s National Payroll Week 2017 launch event
The CIPP launched National Payroll Week 2017 with its fourth annual event at the House of Commons on Monday 4 September. This successful event was hosted by Eira Hammond, CIPP chair, who gave a speech on ‘Putting payroll in the spotlight’. Eira went on to say that “the reasoning behind the theme is that so many payroll professionals within their respective organisations play a pivotal role, and during National Payroll Week we take the time to celebrate all the good work they do up and down the country. Often behind the scenes and diligently getting on with making sure their colleagues (or clients in the case of the software and services suppliers) all get paid accurately and on time”. Eira also touched on upcoming developments such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where Eira continued: “as well as our own internal practices we have a duty to help our members navigate through this and highlight what they can start to do to prepare”.

PayDashboard
As official sponsors of National Payroll Week, PayDashboard were really excited to throw ourselves into the celebrations. We attended the CIPP’s launch event at the House of Commons, where Tim Phillips our new commercial director enjoyed meeting CIPP members and staff. Back in the office our marketing team were busy working on five employee guides which we shared throughout NPW and for which we have received positive feedback. For us, it was great to see so many people getting involved in #NPW17. We work with companies to deliver digital payslips to their employees, so we know exactly how important payroll is to a company and how stressful and frantic things can be. It was great to take time out to celebrate the fantastic role that payroll plays in businesses – because, let’s face it, no employee likes being paid late or incorrectly! Well done to everyone involved for making #NPW17 a success.
