CIPP AND WORKPLACE GIVING UK RESEARCH ON PAYROLL GIVING
2 May 2013
New research from the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP) and Workplace Giving UK has revealed notable differences between the perception and reality of implementing payroll giving schemes. This research was undertaken to inform the government’s consultation process on modernising the payroll giving system. The survey results demonstrated a marked discrepancy in the perceptions of the respondents who do not currently offer a payroll giving scheme compared to those that do. For instance, of those respondents who do not operate a payroll giving scheme, the main barriers cited were (more than one option could be chosen):
71% were unsure of the administration process 71% believed their employees were unlikely to engage with the scheme 57% highlighted the cost of running the scheme
However, the reality uncovered by the survey results showed a very different scenario. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents think payroll giving schemes are easy to implement and administer. Of those that currently operate a payroll giving scheme: 69% either strongly agreed, or agreed that setting up a payroll giving scheme is simple 96% of respondents said they find the administration for payroll giving easy Nearly 76% of respondents stated they strongly agreed, or agreed that operating payroll giving is low cost Following this research, the CIPP submitted its consultation response to the government on its recommendations on making payroll giving more accessible to employers, which includes its suggestions on how to update the payroll giving system. Karen Thomson FCIPP MSc, Associate Director of Policy, Research, and Strategic Visibility at the CIPP, commented: “Our findings indicated that nearly a third (31%) of survey respondents think that payroll giving is not currently part of their organisation’s culture. Furthermore, half (48%) of respondents do not believe payroll giving aids the recruitment and retention of employees. We want to help dispel the perception around the challenges of payroll giving and change the mind-set that schemes are difficult to set up and maintain. “The research shows that there is a significant increase in the number of respondents who currently operate a payroll giving scheme this year (83%) compared to in 2011 (73%) when the Chartered Institute ran similar research; which is very positive and encouraging. However, there is still a lot of work to be done to raise the awareness of the simplicity of the administration process around payroll giving.
