This includes, but is not restricted to: l Calls into the CIPP’s Advisory Service l On the job learning l Reading News On Line , Professional in Payroll, Pensions and Reward and other publications l Attending national forums l Any form of networking where you may have learned something new l Attending training courses and/or events CPD is not just completing a qualification; it is the part that comes after that. Achieving a qualification is a great way of demonstrating knowledge and skills at a given point in time. CPD is demonstrating that you have maintained and developed that knowledge and skill set, and it should be achieved through setting learning objectives and development goals, whatever stage of your career. Why is CPD important? CPD is important because things are changing all of the time. Through logging your CPD with the CIPP, and therefore maintaining the right to use the letters associated with membership * after your name, you are

demonstrating your commitment to keeping up to date and compliant with constantly changing legislation. You are also showing your employer, or future employers, that you are open to change and willing to learn new processes or ways of doing things, which may improve operational efficiencies. Who needs to complete CPD? All associate, full and fellow members. How do I log CPD? By logging onto the members’ area of cipp.org.uk , you will find a form to complete your activity and a record of all of your CPD for the last two years. This links to your membership record and enables continued use of the letters after your name.

THE CIPP

CIPP Consult CIPP Consult is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals. Our consultants are all professionally qualified people with experience of delivering payroll services and solutions to organisations ranging in both size and sector.

Consult

In accordance with its Chartered status, the CIPP provides payroll, reward, benefits and HR advice which is completely independent of all relevant software and service suppliers. All of our consultants are appropriately experienced and qualified in their fields and we will work with you to ensure that your expected outcomes of the assignments undertaken are fully met.

The range of services we provide is extensive and the following are just a few of the areas which we believe may be of interest to you.

General consulting Payroll departments, in particular, are often so focussed on the principle of ensuring that all employees are paid ‘on time and accurately’ that they rarely have the opportunity to take a step back and review the way that they operate. At CIPP Consult we specialise in reviewing the payroll operation (and its interaction with other departments including HR and finance) with a ‘fresh pair of eyes’ to recommend innovative improvements to processes and ways of working.

These exercises include: l Measuring, analysing and reporting on your payroll function costs against our benchmark data l Analysing how data flows into, and out from, your payroll department identifying opportunities to improve processes, reduce late submissions (and costly supplementary pay runs), reduce late notification of leavers and therefore overpayments l Reviewing and suggesting improvements to your payroll documentation l Reviewing any part of the payroll operation that you know needs review but you don’t have the time to do yourself

Procurement

Outsourcing If you are considering business process outsourcing for your payroll and/or HR functions we can assist you in assessing whether that is a good option for your organisation. Changing your payroll service provider or software solution? If you have made the decision to outsource for the first time, to change your outsourced service provider or to change your in-house software solution we can assist in: l Specifying your requirements l Preparing invitation to tender (ITT) document l Analysing ITT responses l Preparing for supplier demonstrations and presentations (our consultants have considerable experience of working for service and software providers and know which questions suppliers hate answering)

Once you have made your choice of service/software we are also able to provide advice to you during the implementation and testing phases including acting as an independent adviser during project meetings.

Project management We can provide experienced project managers to manage the whole implementation of a new service/solution on the client side or we can manage your own internal projects for you. In either case we are able to:

l Produce, amend and update project plans l Control and monitor the project budget l Chair regular project meetings and steering groups l Manage change control l Contract negotiations with third party implementation partners l Produce remedial plans for projects that are over budget and out of scope

THE CIPP

Compliance and best practice

PAS and PQP – a great combination Separately, the Payroll Assurance Scheme (PAS) and the Payroll Quality Partnership (PQP) have both been very successful schemes in improving the payroll function in more than 100 organisations and now CIPP is offering these two accreditations as one package.

TheChartered Institute ofPayrollProfessionals Payroll Quality Partnership

Bringing the two schemes together allows CIPP to make enhancements to both, but at the same time recognise the differences between the two. In short, PAS is concerned with compliance and best practice processes in operational payroll whereas PQP is concerned with best practice in ensuring that the learning and development needs of the staff following those processes are met.

CIPP’s vision is that the PAS and PQP accreditation will become the de facto standard for payroll operations in the UK.

PAS and PQP accreditation – the process PAS examines over 60 facets of the payroll operation and highlights areas of payroll process and practice which could lead to legislative non-compliance, and therefore financial penalties, involving HMRC, Department for Work and pensions, The Pensions Regulator and other authorities.

PQP is designed to ensure that the staff who follow your payroll processes are properly trained, performance managed and have opportunities for continuous development and learning as part of keeping your payroll operation compliant.

The accreditation is straightforward and support is available from CIPP in the early stages to ensure that you are heading in the right direction in your preparations for the accreditation assessment days. For clarity, one day will be dedicated to PAS and another to PQP.

The benefits of accreditation ● Achieving accreditation will demonstrate to existing and prospective customers, suppliers, employees and colleagues that the organisation is committed to ensuring compliance and best practice in payroll and is dedicated to the development, motivation, recruitment and retention of staff in the payroll function ● Potential improvements in processes leading to greater effectiveness and efficiencies within the payroll function and also to time and cost savings for other departments and your organisation ● Increased staff motivation and lower staff attrition rates achieved by demonstrating the organisation’s commitment to the staff’s learning and development

For more information, please visit payrollcompliance.org.uk , email compliance@cipp.org.uk or call 0121 712 1000.

“Assessment through the Payroll Assurance Scheme was undertaken to provide an external review of core processes and to assure the quality of them. The assessment process was a welcome review and in addition to endorsing existing processes, enabled further areas for improvement to be highlighted. Recognition gained through obtaining the PAS kitemark was seen as formal acknowledgement of high quality payroll processing which staff and customers, both internal and external, find valuable. It was a logical decision for us to also seek accreditation through PQP; we were very keen to recognise the quality and commitment of our staff who had worked hard to achieve our effective and streamlined processes.” Dumfries & Galloway Council

THE CIPP

Friends of automatic enrolment Pensions automatic enrolment (AE) is so complex that most organisations will need support to handle their duties compliantly. However, with the staging date asteroid building until the summer of 2017, when it peaks at an eye watering 135,000 companies per month, many organisations will struggle to find the support they need and may get fined as a result.

The Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals Friends of automatic enrolment

In response to market concerns that this capacity crunch issue has the potential to jeopardise the success of automatic enrolment, the CIPP successfully launched friends of automatic enrolment (FoAE).

Regional meetings Friends of automatic enrolment started off in London but due to demand meetings are scheduled to take place around the country. Please enquire to find out when and where your local meetings are taking place and who is running them. With the ever expanding friends of automatic enrolment regions we are constantly looking for new co-chairs to help run them. If you or someone you know may be interested please enquire. Automatic enrolment directory You can have your company information in the friends of automatic enrolment directory; this is a great way to get your company noticed amongst other market participants. Partnership of friends of automatic enrolment

“I’ve found the friends of automatic enrolment a critical source of data, information, experience and contacts that has supported my work for my college and ensured we have not wasted resources on unnecessary consultancy and research”

Alan Burley FCIPP Msc, payroll and benefits services manager, College of Policing

Partnership of friends of automatic enrolment is aimed at the suppliers to the automatic enrolment market. It comes with various benefits like a premium listing in the automatic enrolment directory and being able to supply content to Professional in Payroll, Pensions and Reward magazine free of charge. Next steps Whether you are an employer that is looking for support or a market participant wanting to collaborate with others so you can provide your support as efficiently as possible, the next step is to join.

APPRENTICESHIPS

Apprenticeships

An apprenticeship is a way for young people and adult learners to earn while they learn in a real job, gaining a real qualification and a real future.

82%* of employers believe that hiring apprentices help businesses to grow their own talent by developing a motivated, skilled and qualified workforce.

A new standard called the Payroll Administrator apprenticeship is in development currently which we hope will be in place later this year and will provide you with further details in due course. This is a direct result of government changes leading to the intermediate and advanced apprenticeship in payroll framework expiring on 30 November 2016.

If you wish to review other education options in the meantime, the CIPP offers a wide portfolio which can be viewed here or you can call 0121 712 1000 to discuss options. Alternatively, we will contact you regarding apprenticeships when information is available.

The apprenticeship levy As part of the government’s commitment to apprenticeships in England and their pledge to provide funding for three million apprenticeship starts by 2020[1], in the summer budget of 2015 the Department for Business innovation and skills (BIS) announced an apprenticeship levy that will be introduced in April 2017 that will affect all employers with an annual pay bill of £3m.

Since this announcement BIS has consulted with employers and while the detail is still being worked through prior to the introduction of the Levy, this fact sheet begins to explore some of frequently asked questions.

The levy aims to put the employer at the heart of the delivery of apprenticeships that are fit for purpose in industry that also increases their quality, holding both the employer and the training provider accountable.

The levy will be introduced on 6 April 2017 and will affect all employers in both public and private sectors and will be payable by employers whose pay bill exceeds £3 million in a tax year.

The government has provided the following example calculations:

Example one ● Employer of 250 employees, each with a gross salary of £20,000 would pay:

❍ Pay bill – 250 x £20,000 = £5,000,000 ❍ Levy sum – 0.5% x £5,000,000 = £25,000

Allowance of £15,000 is taken into account so a payment of £10,000 would be payable.

Example two Employer of 100 employees, each with a gross salary of £20,000 would pay:

● Pay bill – 100 x £20,000 = £2,000,000 ❍ Levy sum – 0.5% x £2,000,000 = £10,000 ❍ Allowance of £15,000 is taken into account there would no annual levy payment.

It will be collected monthly by HMRC through PAYE and is likely to be payable with remittances for Income tax and National Insurance contributions (NICs). The pay bill will be calculated on total employee earnings that are liable to Class one secondary NICs.

It gave me the freedom to study at a time that was convenient to me; the group forum was brilliant and gave me the confidence to ask questions, I had the ability to contact my tutor at any time and I really enjoyed the course. ”
