Agenda

HR Grapevine's Head of Content, Benjamin Broomfield, and CIPP's Adrian Goddard introduce HR & Payroll Summit 2025!

The pair talk through the challenges and opportunities facing the payroll function, from leveraging technology and automation to enhancing efficiency and accuracy, to navigating the complexities of global payroll in a multi-jurisdictional landscape.

Join us as we unravel the significance of payroll, not just as an operational necessity, but as a strategic asset that drives organisational success.

With the new tax year fast approaching, staying informed about upcoming legislative changes is crucial for payroll and HR professionals. To help you navigate these changes with confidence, join us for a legislative update session delivered by the policy and research team.

This session will provide an overview of the key changes coming into effect in April, as well as insight into future policies and reporting requirements that may impact your business in the future.
We will cover:

• Income tax

• National Insurance

• Student Loans

• Pensions

• National Minimum Wage

• Payrolling benefits

• More…

Employers have a legal duty to pay workers at least the National Minimum Wage (NMW) based on their age. Accurate payroll records are essential to demonstrate adherence to these regulations, as failure to do so can lead to serious legal and financial consequences. Many businesses unknowingly fall into common NMW pitfalls, from misclassifying workers to miscalculating earnings and deductions.

Join Ben to discuss National Minimum Wage and understand why it's much more than just paying the hourly pay rate. You will gain an insight into:

• Types of workers, their entitlements, and salaried workers' calculation year

• Pay reference periods and how they impact compliance

• What earnings and deductions count towards NMW pay

• Common payroll mistakes and how to avoid them

• The penalties and risks of underpayment

Traditional payroll systems create administrative headaches, compliance risks, and frustrated employees. Manual processes, data silos, and rigid deadlines make payroll more of a burden than a strategic function.
