BeKnowledgeable WITH SPRING seemingly sprung, and winter (mostly) behind us, the CIPP’s recent series of BeKnowledgeable webinars drew to a close. These webinars have been a huge hit with CIPP members, with the last one in the series attracting over 1,000 registrants. The BeKnowledgeable webinars will return in June, hopefully heralding a great summer. The CIPP will be announcing the various subject areas for this series soon.
CIPP surveys ● Payslip survey – The CIPP extends thanks to all those who completed the now closed annual payslip survey. A report is currently being prepared with details being announced in June. ● Benchmarking survey – The CIPP has recently launched this benchmarking survey, which for the first time has been opened to all levels of membership and to the wider payroll profession. The survey runs until 30 June. The CIPP invites you to complete the survey and to ask your payroll colleagues to do the same, in order to help gather as much information as possible. To take part in the survey use the following link: cipp.org.uk/benchmarking.
Congratulations to the newly accredited PAS organisations THE CIPP’s Payroll Assurance Scheme (PAS) is designed to

test your payroll processes in relation to payroll processing, compliance and the people skills and development opportunities. One of the most important elements is ensuring business continuity plans are in place and effective should they be required. Given events over the last twelve months, congratulations to all organisations that have achieved this accreditation and will have been able to put those plans into action. Special congratulations to our recently accredited organisations: ● RS Components Ltd ● Metapack Limited Ken Pullar, CIPP chief executive officer, said: “Never has it been more important for businesses to have good payroll processes, knowledge and skills that enable them to implement new government legislation and guidance quickly. Congratulations to those organisations that have recently demonstrated just that.” The Payroll Assurance Scheme is still operating, with assessments currently operating virtually.
