Workplace Giving UK launch the Big Charity Whip Round to coincide with the CIPP Annual Payroll and Pensions Conference and offer a half price set up fee to CIPP members until 31 December 2013. To coincide with CIPP’s Annual Payroll and Pensions Conference, this week sees the launch of Workplace Giving UK’s latest initiative – The Big Charity Whip Round. It rounds down participating employees’ net pay to the nearest pound, and the remaining pennies are donated direct to charity. So if the payslip says £965.23 it’s rounded down to £965, and the 23p is donated to the chosen good cause. Helen Hargreaves, Senior Policy and Research Officer for the CIPP comments: “The CIPP welcomes any initiative which promotes charitable giving. A simple low cost system, which enables individuals to donate a few pennies every month could mean that over the period of a year, a company’s employees, together, will have made a significant contribution to their chosen charity.” Workplace Giving UK are offering CIPP members a special half price set up fee of £14.99 until 31 December if you mention your membership. For more information call 0208 731 5125 or visit http://www.thebigcharitywhipround.co.uk/ No employee will ever donate more than 99p per pay day but together they can turn pennies into pounds and make a world of difference.
CIPP research paper on Payroll Giving
4 December 2013
The National Payroll Giving Excellence Awards took place at HM Treasury last night. To help companies who have been considering setting up a Payroll Giving scheme but haven't been sure how to go about it, CIPP’s Helen Hargreaves has written a research paper investigating the attributes of a successful Payroll Giving scheme and the company conditions needed to launch such a scheme. Recent research undertaken by the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP) in conjunction with Workplace Giving UK, suggests that two of the main reasons why employers do not offer Payroll Giving to their staff are because of the administration process and the perceived cost of running the scheme. However, the reality uncovered by the survey results shows that the majority of employers who responded think Payroll Giving schemes are easy to implement and administer.
This paper seeks to:
understand what drives individuals to give charitably; examine whether the recent recession has had any effect on donations; identify the characteristics of, and the company conditions needed to launch, a successful PG scheme; and make recommendations as to how organisations can implement a low cost, low administration scheme.
