The results are in. To be honest, the policy team didn’t know what to expect with this one. Following the Autumn Statement, what is the feeling around payroll processes and their consistency? Will we see changes continue to happen at the light speed pace of the past year, or will things begin to calm, and payroll changes happen at a slower pace.
Answer
Responses
We will see more change
17% 11% 22% 50%
Change will happen at the same rate
We will see less change
Unsure what the future holds
As you can see, there is still a large consensus of uncertainty with payroll professionals. The recent governmental turbulence and growth plan has left a lasting sense of doubt, despite the relatively calm and measured Autumn Statement.
Even looking at the responses from those that didn’t say they were unsure, there is a split between those who see more and those who see less change on the horizon.
We can only hold tight and wait to see what the future brings us, but it may take some time before payroll professionals can relax again.

New Quick poll: Do you think changes should be made to SSP? Published: 5 December 2022 Emailed: 7 December 2022
With the cost-of-living being a topic that is not going away any time soon, many areas are seeing increased scrutiny to see if changes can be made for the better.
An area of focus at the moment is Statutory Sick Pay (SSP). An assortment of unions and institutes have written an open letter to the UK government, including the Centre for Progressive Change.
To gauge our members thoughts on the issue, we are asking if SSP should:
be paid at a higher rate be payable from day 1 not be subject to the LEL
• • •
• allow for flexible returns to work (i.e. part days) • be left as it is.
In the past, the UK government responded to the consultation “Health is everyone’s business”. In the response they concluded that during the pandemic was not the right time to institute changes to the SSP system. Will this push urge the government to assess if now is the right time?
