Policy hub
On your behalf
January and February flewby, as the policy teamwere kept busy with surveys, presentations and forums, in between producing articles and looking out for the latest payroll updates and news Policy teamupdate
Payslip statistics survey We love a good survey here at the CIPP, and the latest instalment of one of our biggest ongoing surveys was published in February. The payslip statistics survey has been running since 2008 and gives detailed insights into current payslip trends and how they compare to those observed in previous years. Make sure you get involved and respond to the survey, and look out for the associated report, which will be published later this month. Forums There was a hive of activity in the forums space in January 2022. Various members of the team attended meetings to discuss topics including: ● small pension pots ● payroll hot topics ● the construction industry scheme ● Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC’s) guidance strategy. The sessions were hosted by a variety of organisations, ranging from government departments, such as HMRC and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, to other professional membership organisations, such as the Association of Accounting Technicians. The team will continue to attend these meetings to act as the voice of the payroll profession, and to represent the industry. Events BeConnected The team completed its internal online
BeConnected events throughout February and are eager to get back to presenting face-to-face in March. There’s still time to book, and you can do this at: http://ow.ly/ Iuja30s9VOe. We’d love to see you there.

payrollers to keep on top of complex new regulations in this 100% question-led televised broadcast. Pay Dashboard Sam will also be presenting for Pay Dashboard on 10 March 2022 and providing an update for the new tax year. There will inevitably be discussion of the issue on everyone’s lips for 2022/23 – the health and social care levy. Sam will also cover the other changes to tax and pay to be introduced from 6 April 2022. Payroll pets Who doesn’t love pets? With a mass shift to working from home, which really tested the mental well-being of some, pets provided a degree of solace in a time of uncertainty. In recognition of this, we are asking you, the payroll professionals, to introduce us to your pets, for a chance of being included in a future issue of Professional magazine. To get involved, please send a picture of your furry (or scaly!) friend and tell us a little bit about them. For further details, email the editor at editor@cipp.org.uk . n
