BEST PRACTICE IN PAYROLL

The Payroll Assurance Scheme (PAS) – the prestigious gold standard accreditation for your payroll processes and people

Developed in partnership with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and launched in 2012, PAS is the prestigious gold standard to ensure your people and payroll processes are compliant and robust.

Examining over 100 facets of your payroll operations, the scheme is consistently evolving and not only shows that lifelong learning and development is planned and encouraged, but that you’re dedicated to compliance and best practice in payroll, a huge accolade for staff, as well as ensuring procurement is much easier.

Every issue we want to recognise and celebrate those organisations which have successfully achieved, or retained, their accreditation. This month we would like to congratulate:

Portsmouth City Council (re-accreditation)

CT Accountant Advisors (new accreditation)

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (re-accreditation)

NHS National Services Scotland (new accreditation)

Moorepay Limited (re-accreditation)

“It’s a huge achievement for the NatWest payroll team to once again have successfully completed PAS accreditation. PAS has been created by the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals in partnership with HMRC and represents the gold standard in payroll service delivery. The rigorous assessment covers all aspects of payroll services, providing assurance around payroll controls, compliance, efficiency and people development.

“I’m delighted that NatWest UK’s payroll team has continued to demonstrate such a high quality of payroll service delivery, and that it has once again been recognised by the payroll industry body.”

Emma Hartley, Payroll Operations Lead, NatWest Bank Plc
