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:
● Kerry Ingredients (UK) Ltd (new) ● Midland Heart (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:
RS Group: “We’re extremely proud to have received recognition from the PAS again. This brings with it kudos and an understanding of where we are with our procedures and processes. “We enjoyed the PAS process, and as always, it helped our understanding of where we are within the industry. The benefit this will bring to our company is the knowledge that we’re getting it right and that the development opportunities we have are correct for the progression of the payroll team.”
BDO UK LLP: “It’s important for us to show our clients and the rest of our firm that the controls, processes and training we have in place are of the highest standard. As a by-product, the bi-annual review really helps as it enables us to step back from the day-to-day and ensure we’re still following best practice. “It was incredibly helpful that our assessor, Julie, was really knowledgeable. Talking through processes with her has enabled us to tweak and improve them further as she gave us a different perspective on them.”
Dataplan by IRIS: "Dataplan by IRIS is delighted to have
retained its PAS accreditation. The provision of payroll can be a difficult and complex area for customers to navigate, and it’s important to ensure compliance and maintain employee engagement in this space. “The independent validation provided through holding the PAS accreditation gives our customers the confidence that Dataplan by IRIS will guide them through the process and deliver the highest standards demanded within the payroll sector.”
