CIPP PAYSL IP STATISTICS REPORT 2018
Summary of results
YEAR ON YEAR PAYSLIP TRENDS
Number of employees paid This question asks payroll bureau respondents to add up the number of employees across all their clients’ payrolls and employers to add up the total number of people they pay across all the payrolls they operate, with up to 6,281,050 workers being paid by the respondents to this survey. Once again the results remain relatively consistent throughout the years of this research; however this year there has been a significant increase in the number of respondents paying fewer than 50 individuals which is up to 8.9% from 1.7% in 2015-16. What the results do not tell us conclusively is whether this is as a result of larger companies decreasing their workforce, whether there is an increasing number of small businesses, or perhaps whether the increasing complexity and changing requirements of payroll over the last few years have resulted in increasing numbers of small employers, who were not CIPP members, outsourcing their payroll to agents who are members of the CIPP, thereby changing the demographic of employers directly or indirectly covered by this research.
This is an issue which will be explored in future research.
