Hello, June! Where have the last six months gone?! We’ve already passed another year end, sent out our P60s and sorted our P11Ds. We’re now looking forward to the next set of challenges in the world of payroll. I often get asked how I started my payroll career, and the truth is I fell into it, starting on a youth training scheme as a payroll clerk and progressing my way through various roles in the industry over the years
Today, there are apprenticeship opportunities which can act as a gateway into a career in payroll, as well as supporting individuals on their qualification journeys. This can subsequently open doors to the many different career routes available to take within the payroll industry. So, what’s on offer for somebody wanting to start out in payroll or to move careers within the industry? Entry level roles are often offered alongside employer-supported training, and this can be a great way to get into payroll. Another possibility could be to undertake a qualification, and here at the CIPP, we offer a range of different options in this space. Payroll is no longer seen as just ‘pushing a button’ on pay day, as there are many more opportunities and pathways available, which will help attract and retain payroll professionals. In this issue of Professional , you will find some good advice and guidance on the opportunities and options out there. Membership is also a great way to ensure you have the tools, advice, support and guidance you need to help you through your career journey.

CEO’s message Welcome to the June issue of the magazine. We’re nearly halfway through the calendar year and rapidly closing in on the first quarter of the tax year. This also means we’re into the payroll conference season, which across the globe spans from May through to November, with events in the US, Southern Ireland, Canada and South Africa all coming before our own

Annual Conference and Exhibition (ACE), with Australia following, all interspersed with events by the Global Payroll Association and others. These are fantastic networking opportunities and provide education and guidance to propel payroll development. In this issue, the ‘experience or education’ debate is explored and both approaches have validity. I’m experienced within the payroll industry and recognise how important it is to build education through qualifications and training, along with continuous development as part of ongoing professional development. This aligns with my philosophy that every day is a school day. Hopefully, you will be aware of the Payroll Live event being organised in Manchester in July. This isn’t to compete with ACE, but rather to complement it and provide a content-rich experience for those who may not normally get to attend ACE. Presenting additional opportunities for learning is increasingly important to me, as such a high percentage of training courses and qualifications are now delivered online. This type of event still allows for face-to-face interaction, education and networking. For those who do attend, please let me know what you think of the event. Feedback is super important for us in developing and improving the range of events we deliver. As part of an educational community, you may prefer to maintain your continuous professional development with online learning and by consuming updates at your leisure. However, human interaction and face-to-face meetings also have their place in sharing stories and updating each other. I would be delighted to hear from you regarding any other opportunities for getting together that you think we, at the CIPP and IPP Education Ltd, should be thinking about. I look forward to hearing from you.
