Samuel Jones MCIPPDIP, payroll tutor at MBKB Training “I love the versatility of the profession. I have seen many aspects of payroll, but there is always more to learn. Payroll is a niche for everyone.”
Jackie Milward MCIPPdip, payroll officer at the Allison Homes group of companies “I love the fact you are continuously learning new skills, whether that be an organisation’s policies or the government’s furlough scheme. There is always the opportunity to assist colleagues, and this is why I love payroll.”
Yevan Bellot-Subar ACIPP, HR and payroll manager at Diverse Dining Ltd. (Shake Shack UK and PF Changs) “I love that my team and I are the ‘face’ of payroll – we are not an unseen department. We actively visit all our restaurants to meet and support our general managers and the retail operations team. We give them tools to manage their own payroll. Regular training, education and face-to-face contact with our customers (either on- site, support centre or via MS Teams) ensures we can bring payroll to life.”
Sharon Anderson BA (Hons) FCIPPdip, global payroll manager at Argus Media “I have been in payroll for over 35 years and to this day, always learning. Our employees are my customers, always treated with respect and an empathetic ear. It is critical that, as a payroller, you keep ahead of the game, making sure you are up-to-date with legislative changes and helping the employees understand their payments and deductions. In payroll, it is key that you make sure employees are paid accurately and on time. Payroll is a challenging career and I personally love this and wouldn’t want it any other way. No two days are the same, but to have a professional body such as the CIPP at hand is a fantastic asset.”
Samantha Johnson LLB (Hons) ChMCIPPdip, CIPP policy lead “A payroll career can take you on an incredible journey. You develop skills in problem solving, technology and customer service, alongside maintaining your compliance knowledge on topics ranging from national minimum wage to holiday pay. Payrollers keep the UK economy going, collecting billions on behalf of HMRC. There is an abundance of passionate professionals who, through attention to detail and a genuine love for their role, continuously deliver timely and accurate payroll across the UK.”
Anna Ellwood MCIPPdip, payroll manager at Humberside Police “I don’t care what anyone says, everyone goes to work to get paid and I love being part of that process. I’m even more honoured now that I am payroll manager for our local police force.”
Diana Bruce, MCIPPdip, CIPP subject matter expert “You think you know everything about an area of payroll and then someone questions you and makes you look at a process or regulation in a different way. Or legislation is introduced that changes the rules (we should be used to that by now) and this often has hidden or unrealised consequences. Payroll is a constant education – I love to ‘keep on learning’ with payroll, never a dull moment.”
Lorna Nicholls ACIPP, CIPP Advisory Service team leader “I love it because it covers so many subjects – you can never ever be bored. It gives you enormous self-satisfaction knowing you have either paid employees correctly or given advice to ensure an employee is paid correctly. It is a subject that ranges from being easy to extremely
difficult, so calls for individual strengths. These range from being flexible, articulate, technical, good at problem solving, mathematical, IT literate, and all with the ability to adapt to changes quickly and efficiently. How can you not love it when it gives you such varying day to day demands? It gives huge job satisfaction and the possibility of endless learning.”
