Tell us about your collective experience as a team and background in payroll I joined the Institute’s Advisory Service in November 2013, which was when I gained my Foundation Degree in Payroll Management. I’d worked in payroll within local government for 24 years. Susan Richardson joined the CIPP in August 2005, having worked in payroll for approximately 31 years. Sue gained her Diploma in Payroll Management in 1997. Beverley Smith joined the CIPP in August 2015 and has over twenty years’ experience in both industry and practice. Beverley is currently studying for her Foundation Degree in Payroll Management. What does the Advisory Service do for CIPP members and how can members benefit from the service? The Advisory Service is one of the most popular membership benefits and offers members both verbal and written advice and support in all aspects of payroll pensions and reward. Members can access the service by calling our helpline, by email or through social media or #payrollhour . To benefit from the service, you will need to be a paid member of the Institute: a trial student member who is studying with us, an associate member who is connected to the profession, a full member who is

qualified to level five or a fellow member which is our highest level of membership. What was the most interesting advisory query you have received? We receive so many interesting questions; some are similar in nature and some need in-depth research which can be interesting. Getting a question regarding someone who was a ‘runner’ for the film industry was one that sticks in my memory – but that’s because I have a passion for films. What does the future hold for the future of payroll, pensions and reward? The future for payroll and pensions is that it will become even more complex as legislation seems to be changing and evolving every year. I feel it is more important than ever for us ‘payrollers’ to keep our knowledge base as up to date as possible with frequent reading and research. What do you do in your available time to unwind? I am a real film buff. I love going to the cinema to watch new films as well as older ones with my favourite being Dirty dancing . I go to the cinema at least once a week with both family and friends. I also have a passion for – or some would say an addiction to – pilates, and I go at least four times a week. And I also do yoga weekly. n
