COMPLIANCE
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, the PAS is the only industry kitemark to ensure your payroll processes and people are compliant and robust. Examining over 60 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:
CR Payroll Solutions Ltd (new accreditation) Forest Phoenix Accountancy Ltd (new accreditation) Kreston Reeves LLP (re-accreditation)
Sanctuary Group (re-accreditation) Zellis UK Ltd (re-accreditation).
Our chief executive officer, Jason Davenport, said, “ Thank you and congratulations to all the organisations achieving their PAS accreditation. You’ve made a very clear commitment to your teams, customers and to our industry in demonstrating your excellence and professionalism, well done."
TESTIMONIALS Hear from a few of our accredited organisations on how PAS has benefited their organisation:
Aldi Stores Ltd: “During a period of change within the business, the department has focussed on policies, procedures and training and development to be able to demonstrate that best practice is taking place, as well as introducing efficiencies and improved ways of working. "The PAS accreditation shows that all the hard work has been recognised and helps raise the profile of the teams involved. For the accreditation to identify that ‘both the payroll and people process documentation exceeded the requirements of the PAS criteria’ is a huge testament to the work undertaken and sets the standard for future work.”
Midland Heart: “As a team, we work really hard to maintain an accurate and compliant payroll. This is endorsed by our positive business audits and being re-accredited in the PAS, now for the fourth consecutive time. This is a huge recognition of the processes we have in place, the knowledge and diligence of our team and pride we take in delivering to our colleagues each month. "The PAS process is a very impressive audit and testament to how, as a team, we all work together to achieve a continual high- quality, streamlined service to the business.”
North Kesteven District Council:
“North Kesteven District Council is incredibly proud to have achieved accreditation for the third time with the PAS. This achievement helps to provide confidence both internally, and externally to our clients, that we work to the gold standard within the industry. "The process was extremely valuable, led by our assessor Ben, and gave us time to reflect on industry best practice and upcoming challenges, as well as the comprehensive assessment criteria for PAS.”
