Everyone has an experience to share about life during lock down - personal, professional, health, happiness, and horrors - the CIPP Policy and Research team want to hear yours.
There is a pre-conception by many that processing pay, pensions and reward, simply requires the pressing of a button. However, we know already that many of those misconceptions have dramatically changed already due to the impact of COVID-19.
Recognised as key workers, the payroll profession, across all sectors and in all service lines, have successful ly overcome many difficulties to keep the UK workforce paid, during the coronavirus pandemic.
Many payroll teams are now working remotely and are facing a daily juggle to comply with the latest legislative changes, as well as ensuring that ‘business as usual’ tasks and processes continue. What would normally be classed as standard tasks, such as entering a new employee onto a system, for many, have required significant changes to procedures. But we know those changes have occurred and have resulted in the continued successful delivery or normal service during anything but normal circumstances.
This week we ran virtual roundtables to discuss how our members have adapted to the changes caused by COVID-19 and the impact it had not just on how they operated payrolls, but on their mental health and personal lives.
To accompany this feedback, we have created a survey, highlighting areas of interest in the hope of gaining even more insight into how payroll professionals have been affected by COVID-19.
The results of this survey along with feedback from virtual roundtables held and direct feedback from our members, will be published and shared by the team within the Coronavirus hub and we plan coverage in Professional in Payroll, Pensions and Reward.
The CIPP's Policy and Research team have created a survey to gain insight to your experiences throughout the Coronavirus Pandemic and the affect it has had on Payroll Professionals.

CIPP Quick Poll: How is your employer approaching a return to the workplace? 6 July 2020
At the start of the outbreak of coronavirus, the government instructed businesses to allow employees to work from home wherever possible. As the restrictions of lockdown ease, and individuals have been, and will be, returning to the workplace, the CIPP wanted to ask its readership how employers were approaching this.
The new Quick Poll on the CIPP’s News Online page asks the question:
Is your employer treating a return to the workplace as being:
Compulsory
•
Optional
•
Dependent on individual circumstances
•
• No intentions to return to the workplace, and work will be performed remotely
We realise that the lives of payroll professionals are busy at the best of times, but that they have been particularly hectic of late, so we would really appreciate it if you could take the time to complete the Quick Poll, which should only take a minute.
The CIPP will publish the results in due course via the News Online page.
