W17 – The challenges of re-enrolment Neil Esslemont, The Pensions Regulator
Payroll decisions are based on various influences, not least
the value and importance placed on payroll strategically by the business owner or manager. That is why it is important for payroll professionals to demonstrate their value and impact on business performance and the bottom line. Paul explored how: l the CIPP’s payroll benchmarking exercise and analysis of payroll data benchmarked against alternatives can be used to demonstrate positive impact on the bottom line, and l how data can be used to put together a business case for payroll decisions which will further improve the bottom line, such as introducing e-payslips, total reward statements, self-service, bringing payroll in-house or building a case for outsourcing. W21 – Tax savings through payroll deductions and salary sacrifice Paul Tucker, Smith & Williamson Paul summarised how a few changes to employee salary packages using salary sacrifice could result in significant savings for both the employer and the employee. Paul then proceeded to outline HMRC’s proposals to radically alter the rules on taxation of a range of benefits in kind which gave some attendees cause for concern. With the participation of CIPP’s Samantha Mann, the session was opened up as a forum to discuss the impact of the proposals which are planned for implementation in April 2017. Lively and stimulating contributions were made.
There have been many changes to automatic enrolment legislation since its introduction
in 2012. As we approach the end of 2016, many employers are approaching their three-year anniversary and will be in a position to re-enrol employees. In this session, Neil covered amongst other things: l communicating to employees, particularly those who have opted out; and l identifying who to re-enrol.
