COMPLIANCE

Payroll Assurance Scheme (PAS)

The prestigious gold standard accreditation for your payroll processes and people Developed in partnership with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and launched in 2012, the PAS is the only industry kitemark to ensure your payroll processes and people are compliant and robust. Examining over 60 facets of your payroll operations, the scheme is consistently evolving and not only shows that lifelong learning and development is planned and encouraged, but that you’re dedicated to compliance and best practice in payroll, a huge accolade for staff, as well as ensuring procurement is much easier.

Every issue we want to recognise and celebrate those organisations which have successfully achieved, or retained, their accreditation.

This month we would like to congratulate: Hays Specialist Recruitment Ltd (re-accreditation) North Kesteven District Council (re-accreditation).

Our chief executive officer, Jason Davenport, said, “ Thank you and congratulations to all the organisations achieving their PAS accreditation. You’ve made a very clear commitment to your teams, customers and to our industry in demonstrating your excellence and professionalism, well done.”

TESTIMONIALS Hear from a few of our accredited organisations, on how PAS has benefited their organisation:

Entrust Support Services: “The CIPP accreditation has provided, not only us as a business, but also our clients with the confidence that our processes, procedures and leadership are robust and resilient. The whole process was very well organised from start to finish, and the assessment team were very knowledgeable and supportive. “This is a great quality assurance check for us to consistently review and ensure we’re developing our staff, to meet the high standards we need to achieve this accreditation. Our clients will benefit from the strong leadership and customer service excellence our team brings within our payroll bureau.”

East Midlands Shared Services: "EMSS are proud to have achieved PAS re-accreditation, which is an important step in our next phase of progress. We have some challenges to overcome in the ever-changing world of the public sector, but we’re really pleased to have demonstrated what we have planned and to highlight how we’re building our team to provide robust support to our partners. “It’s important to us to be able to demonstrate that we have independent scrutiny of our payroll services and to evidence our commitment to high quality services through our key priority of nurturing our staff. As a provider of quality training for both the Level 3 and Level 5 payroll apprenticeships, the PAS provides us with external verification of the quality and commitment of the staff that deliver our training. We look forward to continuing to maintain the standard, which we have consistently achieved since 2015.”

Liberty Global Shared Services Limited:

“As a payroll provider with clients all over the world, this demonstrates the robust procedures and compliance we have in place to provide the best possible service. It also gives deserved recognition to our payroll team, who work tirelessly to maintain the highest possible operational standards. “We're hugely proud of the team and look forward to continuing to provide the best possible experience to our clients, as well as welcoming more businesses to benefit from our payroll services in the future.”
