Welcome
Jason Davenport MCIPP MIoD, CIPP chair
Following a video which showcased some key themes regarding the future of payroll, Jason opened the Annual Conference and Exhibition, welcoming delegates: “where we come together to educate and learn, collaborate with others in the industry and celebrate the profession”.
Special thanks were extended to the CIPP’s overseas guests for attending: American Payroll Association, Canadian Payroll Association and the Irish Payroll Association.
Jason looked back over the past twelve months since the last conference, and mentioned the graduation ceremony 2018, the Chartered members dinners, launch of The Compact Payroll Reference Book , the national forums, Scottish National Conference and Exhibition, and National Payroll Week 2019. NPW 2019 was the most successful to date, with the Institute hosting and supporting several events across the UK. For the first time ever, #NPW19 trended on Twitter and was mentioned on BBC Radio 2 at the start of the week. The CIPP worked with other membership bodies and publications to raise the profile. Discussing Chartered membership, Jason announced that the CIPP will be introducing an experience route to obtain this prestigious status, observing: “It’s important to recognise those members who are ‘qualified’ through their experience within the profession, but also to ensure that we do not devalue the importance of qualifications within payroll now. We are seeking support from members to develop this route.” Jason informed delegates that the Institute’s AGM, being held at the Hilton London, Bankside on 5 December. This is an important event. It is members’ opportunity to approve the CIPP’s financial accounts for the period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019 and to vote for board representatives. Jason urged members to read the profiles of the seven board candidates and vote.
Jason concluded by mentioning that throughout 2020 the CIPP will celebrate forty years since inception of the Association of Payroll and Superannuation Administrators (APSA).

Plenary one – Keynote speech
Daisy McAndrew , former chief political correspondent and economics editor
Steven Watmore, payroll product manager for UK & Ireland, Sage, introduced the sponsored keynote speaker.
Daisy’s keynote speech covered the political landscape, especially the impact of Brexit, and her career.
At age nineteen Daisy worked as a researcher in the House of Commons, then edited The House Magazine before becoming a freelance political journalist.

Plenary three –Motivational session
Summit or Bust This first session of the day gave delegates a table-based team-building activity guided by mountaineer, Phil England. Working in teams each with a survival rucksack and a map of Everest the teams completed challenges to race to the summit.
The challenges included quizzes, solving puzzles and even taking shelter in a bothy bag. The winners were then rewarded with some kendal mint cake.

Plenary four – HMRC panel
The following representatives from HM Revenue & Customs answered questions submitted by delegates. ● ● Colin Shingler, head of customer engagement team and cross-cutting projects ● ● Gerry McShane , PAYE senior processing expert
The following questions were amongst those asked:
Q1: Would it make sense if incoming P45s for new starters showed which student loan plan to apply to ensure the employee is on the correct plan from the outset?
Q2: A number of our employees who are in receipt of universal credit have been adversely impacted when apparent fluctuations in pay have resulted in differing levels of financial support.
We know that UC claimants’ income is assessed per ‘assessment period’ which is a calendar month. The start date of this period is determined by when their first claim for UC is made.
Using a calendar month causes problems for those workers paid four-weekly, as they sometimes have two pay days in a month, and those paid weekly as they can have five pay days in a month. When this occurs, claimants are excluded from UC due to having inflated earnings.
Does the way information is shared between HMRC and DWP have any bearing on this?

ANNUAL CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION 2019
Plenary five – Update fromThe Pensions Regulator
Andy Nicholls FCIPP, industry liaison manager, The Pensions Regulator (TPR)

Andy set out some of the key proposals from the 2017 review of automatic enrolment conducted by the Department for Work and Pensions. These are to be introduced sometime from mid 2020s, including lowering threshold to 18 and, setting the lower level of qualifying earnings at £0.
TPR has launched a fresh round of employer compliance inspections across the UK, targeting those suspected of non-compliance.
