procedures. But we know those changes have occurred and have resulted in the continued successful delivery or normal service during anything but normal circumstances.
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.

Final call: The CIPP’s carer’s leave survey 23 July 2020
The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has launched a consultation which considers the potential of providing unpaid carers with a new right to a week of unpaid leave in which to provide care. The CIPP’s Policy & Research team has created a survey which asks for the views of you – the payroll professionals, in order to feed into our written response. The survey will take approximately 14 minutes to complete and will close at 23:45 on 24 July 2020. We appreciate that, now, more than ever, payroll professionals are extremely busy individuals but if you could spare the time to complete the survey, this is the perfect opportunity for you to have your say.
The survey asks for feedback and opinions on the proposal to give employees a week of unpaid leave each year in order to provide care, and the consultation aims to understand:
• • •
How carers use existing employment rights Who should be eligible to take the leave
What the leave can be taken for
• How the leave would be available to take and the process behind taking the leave • The costs and benefits to both employers and employees
Don’t delay, and respond to the survey today.

This is in addition to a more general overview of the other measures announced by the Chancellor.
The webcast also examines the role of payroll throughout the duration of the pandemic, and how payroll professionals have worked tirelessly to ensure that the UK has been paid, both correctly and on time. This could have implications
