CIPP webcast: Coronavirus support measures 3 April 2020
In order to keep our members informed of recently announced measures to support employers, employees and the self-employed through the outbreak of Coronavirus, the CIPP has produced a webcast that surmises some of the key points for payroll professionals to familiarise themselves with. The webcast discusses temporary amendments to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP), the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and the Self-employment Income Support Scheme. An overview of some of the other policies affected by the outbreak of coronavirus is also included, as this will impact the work that payrollers carry out.
You can listen to the webcast here.
As the situation with coronavirus is continually changing, so does the guidance, so be sure to keep checking the CIPP’s News Online pages to ensure that you have the very latest information.

CIPP Survey: 2020 LPC annual review of minimum wage rates 21 April 2020
To support the CIPP’s written response to the LPC’s 2020 consultation on what the National Living Wage (NLW) and National Minimum Wage (NMW) rates should be from April 2021, the Policy team have designed a survey. The survey aims to collect evidence which will assist in informing the LPC’s recommendations for the 2021 NMW rates.
Respondents will be asked for their views and opinions as to
• The impact of increases in the NLW since its introduction, including the April 2020 uprating • The affordability and effects of a NLW rate of £9.21 from April 2021 • The LPC’s remit to 2024, involving a new NLW target of two-thirds of median earnings and lowering the NLW age threshold to 21. The current central projection for the NLW rate from April 2024 is £10.69 • Potential changes to the Apprentice Rate and the effect this would have, with particular focus on younger apprentices, aged between 16 and 18 years old • Which broader economic issues have affected the perception of what NLW and NMW rates should be • The compliance and enforcement of NLW / NMW The CIPP wholeheartedly understands that payroll professionals are extremely busy individuals, and that measures recently introduced to help support the UK through the outbreak of coronavirus will be demanding a substantial amount of, if not all, of their time. The survey should take approximately 16 minutes to complete, and the CIPP would really appreciate the feedback of anybody with an interest in this matter, so if you could spare the time, it would be much appreciated.
In responding to this survey, you will be helping to shape the future of minimum wage rates that employers must pay their employees, and will be assisting the LPC through what will potentially be their toughest research year since the
