HAYS PAYROLL PROFESSIONALOF THE YEAR AS PART of a nationwide competition, payroll administrator, Hannah Jones, has been awarded payroll professional of the year by the recruiting experts, Hays, and has received £100 in retail vouchers. Hannah, who has worked at Leeds University Union for the past five years, managing payrolls for salaried, weekly and job agency staff, has been awarded as national winner alongside several regional winners across the UK. The competition ran as part of National Payroll Week (NPW). Over the course of NPW, payrollers across the country nominated their payroll professional of the year who was someone they felt had gone above and beyond in their role. The competition received over 100 entries. Speaking of her achievement, Hannah said: “It’s awesome to be recognised for all the work I do in the background, especially during such a difficult time. I really appreciate it. Thank you very much!” Helen Whiteley, Hannah’s direct line manager, who nominated her for the award, said: “I am delighted that Hannah has won ‘Payroll Professional of the Year’. She has been brilliant this year and fully deserves the recognition.” Hannah’s entry was judged by Helen Livesey, director of Hays Payroll, who commented: “The calibre of the nominations this year was outstanding. Unlike National Payroll Week in previous years, we saw many examples of work around furlough, reminding us of the crucial nature of the work carried out by payroll professionals. It was wonderful to read such kind words in each nomination and it really brought home just what a fantastic profession the payroll world is. Choosing the winner was a very difficult decision which was much debated between myself and fellow judges, but Hannah’s work stood out to us and we are over the moon to present her with this award.” SO LONG, FAREWELL – AND THANK YOU TO TWO VENERABLE CIPP TUTORS TWO ENTHUSIASTIC supporters of the CIPP have recently retired from their role as a tutor. The CIPP extends thanks for their noble support and wishes both the very best in the future. Karen Thomson MSc ChFCIPPdip FHEA It is with regret that after seventeen years of service with the CIPP, we say goodbye to Karen Thomson. Karen has had a long and successful career with the CIPP, culminating in leading the CIPP’s policy and research department. Karen tutored concurrently on the CIPP’s Foundation Degree in Payroll Management and the Master of Science in Business and Reward Management. In 2013 she received the ten-year service award at the CIPP’s annual tutor training event, and in 2017 she was awarded the CIPP’s Payroll Professional of the Year accolade. She has consistently displayed laudable professionalism, coupled with the determination to promote the payroll profession wherever possible. A testament to these attributes is that she was one of the first payroll professionals to successfully apply for the prestigious Chartered membership status with the Institute. Jane McDonald MCIPPdip We also say goodbye to Jane McDonald, another long-standing and esteemed tutor and full member of the Institute. Jane tutored on the Foundation Degree in Payroll Management for fifteen years, joining the CIPP’s tutoring staff in October 2005. She provided dedicated support to students at all levels of the Foundation degree and its preceding Diploma in Payroll Management programme, and received the ten-year service award at the CIPP’s annual tutor training event in 2015. ZELLIS APPOINTS RUTH DOOLEY RUTH DOOLEY MCIPPdip has been appointed as product manager for Zellis, as part of the product management team focused around payroll legislation and compliance. The role is to work as a team to drive the functional design and direction of ResourceLink to ensure that it provides customers with a great experience and functionality. Ruth says: “This is a completely new role for me, so I am learning more and more as time progresses. The payroll product team at Zellis are amazing and inspirational. They know their stuff. I am so glad to have joined such a strong team and to be a part of such great software company.”
Edward Bryan Ghent 11 February 1926 - 14 September 2020
THE CHARTERED Institute was saddened to hear of the passing of an old friend and supporter, Edward Ghent. In the early days, Ted was always there, smiling and quietly supporting the British Payroll Managers Association, continuing this through to the CIPP. As payroll manager for Geest plc, in Spalding, Ted was always on top of payroll issues – and we put this to good use through his appointment as one of our first Diploma tutors. Whether it be national meetings, regional meetings, conferences or graduation ceremonies, Ted was there, side by side with his lifelong companion Pam Garret, also a member from the start. Our condolences to Pam in her loss. We will miss Ted’s quiet, tenacious and dependable support, for which he was rightly awarded an honorary CIPP Fellowship. Ted passed away peacefully at Ashwood Nursing Home Spalding.
