The Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals

PQP for Organisations

The Payroll Quality Partnership (PQP) is a quality accreditation from the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP) for organisations of all industry sectors who wish to achieve “best practice in the development of payroll people”.

Payroll is the biggest expenditure in most businesses; however it is often an area that is overlooked. The objective of PQP is to raise the profile of payroll while helping organisations get the most from their payroll function by encouraging them to maintain professional competence, enhancing and developing payroll skills and knowledge.

As a result, organisations will benefit from:

• Improved performance management
• Lower staff turnover and absence
• Increased payroll staff morale as the organisation invests in their development
• Increased efficiency and added value
• Focused learning and development

The PQP process is based on the performance standards defined in the CIPP Payroll Management Competence Framework and the diagnostic process in the CIPP SkillScope.
