NATIONAL PAYROLL WEEK
Reward Strategy - Media partner
Payroll professionals not only perform the crucial task of paying people the right amount at the right time, but they are also increasingly responsible for ensuring employers comply with legislation and regulations forming key government policy. Despite this, they seldom get the recognition that they deserve – mostly because they perform the task so effectively and efficiently that no one notices. National Payroll Week, therefore, is the perfect opportunity to put payroll in the spotlight and celebrate an industry and function that no one can live without.

Mazars LLP
CME Personnel Consultancy Ltd
Mazars LLP held a bake sale for NPW. They have nineteen offices in the UK with four as payroll centres of excellence: Glasgow, Birmingham, Liverpool and London. Each team organised a mix of games and bake sales for local charities that don’t receive a lot of funding.
The CME Personnel Consultancy Ltd has always celebrated NPW with a donation to a good cause and in this special year (the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the payroll bureau), the NPW theme of ‘Spotlight on payroll’ was very suitable. Managing director Caroline Elsey is a keen theatre-goer with a very strong bias towards pantomime, so the decision was taken to sponsor the second year of the Great British Pantomime Awards. Caroline says there is no better relaxation for a hard- worked payroller than a good British panto and she should know as she saw thirty six in the last season. The inaugural Awards event was held at the theatre cafe in Shaftesbury Avenue earlier this year and the ‘Spotlight’ selfie poster in picture shows Christopher Biggins with Caroline and with Sharon D Clarke (the winner of the Best Female Baddie).
Alight Solutions
2017 is the first year Alight Solutions celebrated NPW. They enjoyed preparing homemade treats, raising money for charity, running payroll shadowing sessions, daily quizzes and fun facts that helped others to understand more about payroll and see the payroll team in action.
