Payroll Processing In other results, the research showed that there has been a steady decline in the number of weekly payrolls processed, from a high of 44 per cent in 2008/09 down to its current level of 31 per cent. The CIPP expects this to decline even further over the next 12 months as a potential consequence of the extra administration burden RTI brings to weekly payrolls. It was also noted that the number of payrolls employing only one person has increased by 10 per cent, whilst the number of payrolls employing between one and five employees has dropped significantly, from 48 per cent in 2011/12 to this year’s result of 35 per cent. Karen Thomson, Associate Director of Policy, Research and Strategic Visibility added: “This is the fifth year that the CIPP’s Policy Team has surveyed its members to understand the long term trends affecting employee payslips and this year has really thrown up some surprises for us. “In particular the number of online payslips decreasing, as we had predicted to see the opposite occur this year, and for us this is definitely an area to watch. In addition, it’s also interesting to see the number of weekly payrolls being processed as the pressure of RTI hits. We’ll certainly be interested to see how automatic enrolment adds to their administration in next year’s survey.” Unsurprisingly, the last working day of the month remains the most popular pay day for monthly payrolls, with Friday retaining that accolade for weekly payrolls.
