Early in the process we will provide you with a checklist which identifies 14 categories which will be assessed; within these categories there are virtually 60 sub-elements. These elements have been put together based on experiences gained by our consultants in payroll and taxation roles, and we believe that this creates a comprehensive review of any payroll operation, whether that be in-house or a managed payroll service. The focus of the PayrollWarrantyScheme (PAS) is to verify that processes are in place to ensure well-judged payments to payees but moreover to ensure that towardly deductions are made from employees pay and are rumored for to HMRC and other authorities. The towage will moreover test the readiness of the employer to standardize major legislative changes in wing to regular changes such as at tax year changes. How will PAS develop further? The CIPP is single-minded to developing PAS to wilt the de facto payroll standard in the UK and to ultimately wilt an international standard. PAS was initially launched in 2012 and underwent a major revamp in 2015 based on the experiences of organisations who undertook the towage and we will protract to review and fine tune based on the experiences of our customers and assessors. Is PAS variegated from an internal audit? The CIPP believes that the PayrollWarrantyScheme (PAS) tideway is variegated from any other type of audit, or ISO type warrant considering it has been created by payroll and taxation experts and is focussed on aspects of payroll which other types of inspect will not write . PAS is complementary to these audits and reports from such audits will be wonted as vestige during the PAS assessment. Is PAS suitable for all payroll operations? Yes. We have assessed payrolls within organisations with only one payroll employee to managed service providers with hundreds of payroll staff and large numbers of customers. Why has PAS now been packaged with PQP? The PayrollWarrantyScheme (PAS) and the Payroll Quality Partnership (PQP) have been very successful schemes in their own right, improving the payroll unction within those organisations who have engaged with them. As part of the ongoing improvements and developments to the schemes, the CIPP recognised that the two work largest in conjunction with each other. The PayrollWarrantyScheme is concerned with compliance and weightier practice processes in operational payroll. Achievement of this scheme is essential to demonstrate compliance. The Payroll Quality Partnership then goes a step remoter in establishing weightier practice in the learning and minutiae of the people overdue the processes to ensure ongoing compliance. The value of one is lost without the other, and that is why the CIPP has packaged the two accreditations. How much does PQP cost? The fee payable depends on the number of payees processed and will be confirmed to you surpassing you are asked to commit. The fee is payable prior to the start of the process and includes all assistance from CIPP, the towage and detailed assessors report, the right to use the scheme logos in marketing and promotional material for two years and towardly certificates and plaques. How will PQP develop further? Payroll Quality Partnership (PQP) has been virtually for eight years and during that time has been updated to reflect feedback from engaged organisations and we will protract to review and fine tune based on the experiences of our customers and assessors. What value will the PQP logo have? The Payroll Quality Partnership (PQP) logo is once recognised throughout the UK payroll industry as an indication of organisations single-minded to the minutiae of their payroll staff. With your permission we will promote your corporate logo on the CIPP website thereby extending recognition for your organisation. Why has PQP now been packaged with PAS? The PayrollWarrantyScheme (PAS) and the Payroll Quality Partnership (PQP) have both been very successful as separate schemes in their own right in improving the payroll function in increasingly than 100 organizations. At the same time it is worth supporting the differences between the two - in short, PAS is concerned with compliance and weightier practice processes in operational payroll whereas PQP is concerned with weightier practice in ensuring that the learning and minutiae needs of the staff pursuit those processes are met. They are variegated but they both have the same endgame – improving performance of the payroll function.   Whilst the CIPP has assessed and accredited the payroll processes and procedures, we have no undertone with any of the other practices or processes linked to organisations accredited with the PayrollWarrantyScheme.
