Payroll Assurance Scheme (PAS)

If you want assurance that your payroll team are dedicated to compliance, to know that their processes are robust and that lifelong learning and development is planned and encouraged, then the Payroll Assurance Scheme can offer you that confidence.

The Payroll Assurance Scheme is the prestigious gold standard for both people and payroll processes and is the much-coveted award in the payroll industry. Hear from our PAS clients on why they have become accredited here.

The PAS accreditation allows you to showcase that your organisation has outstanding, accurate, and up to date processes, both within your payroll procedures and the development of your payroll team.

With UK payroll services accounting for up to 20 billion pounds* in payroll fraud in 2023 alone, the CIPP Payroll Assurance Scheme offers peace of mind to all who work with the industry or are seeking payroll services.

The CIPP Assurance Scheme process was well organised and the progression throughout the process was smooth. Whilst there was a need to provide evidence of compliance on payroll tasks and processes the paperwork involved it was simple to follow and relatively easy to complete.

The CIPP team were helpful in providing guidance and were responsive to queries raised. The assessment day was managed well by the assessors who were clear and precise in their requirements from us as an organisation and they were both were professional and friendly.

The accreditation has been an additional selling point for on the commercial front and as a payroll provider gives us the confidence that the service we are providing is of the highest level.
