Guess who’s back, back again (for the purposes of holiday entitlement) : 12.07%
Hello, Professional readers, and welcome to the final instalment of the magazine for 2023. Hopefully by the time you receive this issue, you’ll be getting into the festive spirit and looking forward to spending time with loved ones.
It’s important, as we look to the new year, to reflect on all our successes from the previous year. So, ensure you set aside some time to do just that, and to celebrate those wins. As we move into 2024, you may also be considering new challenges to set the new year off in style. From a payroll perspective, it could be the opportune time to review the processes you carry out in the department and to consider the bigger part the payroll function could play in the wider organisation. That’s why this issue’s quote from Henry Ford felt so apt - if you don’t continually assess things and look for improvements, you’ll never change your results. If you’d like to hear the views of a panel of experts on process improvements, be sure to check out our feature article, on page 38. With the year drawing to a close, you would have been forgiven for thinking things would quieten down, but this is the payroll world, so who were you kidding?! We had the King’s speech and the autumn budget in November, and you can read about all the updates which impact payroll in our hot topic article, on page 56. We also had the responses to not one, but two, meaty consultations which affect the way holiday pay and entitlement are calculated. Flick to page 30 to read more on that. Please also join us in celebrating the success of our graduates who attended the CIPP’s graduation ceremony at Birmingham’s Symphony Hall on 24 November. You can see coverage of the event from page 12 of the magazine. What better way to end the year than on such a high! See you next year, fellow payroll, pensions and reward professionals!
