Time. It’s something a lot of us feel we don’t have enough of. And the very same definitely rings true throughout the payroll profession. This is mainly because of the deadlines associated with ensuring individuals are paid, as they expect their money on a certain date, and failure to meet those targets means payroll isn’t performing its key function of paying people accurately and on time. That’s exactly why the theme of this issue is ‘ keeping one eye on the clock ’. Anyone who works in the industry will explain how important deadlines are and will easily reel off some of the key dates in the tax year on which certain duties need to be performed. So, this issue we look at deadlines, but also review how much the profession has changed over time, while looking towards the future, and what could potentially change over the coming months and years. The feature topic article this issue considers how payroll professionals can deal with the challenges that often arise, while always being mindful of the plethora of deadlines there are to meet (page 28). There are also some great time management tips to help keep you at the top of your game when it comes to processing payroll, on page 20. The deadlines imposed on payroll mean that we can be exposed to considerable amounts of pressure. Flick to page 34 to discover why it’s so important to speak up when going through periods of high stress. And speaking of deadlines, who can forget the all-important ones we have coming up shortly – P60s, anyone? The hot topic article this month focusses on how you can prepare for these upcoming milestones, and can be found on page 54. I hope you enjoy reading this issue of Professional . See you in June!
