Our Payroll and Employee Services have been re-accredited by the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP) as part of the Payroll Assurance Scheme. The re-accreditation was granted following a rigorous external assessment which was approved and developed in partnership with HMRC.
The team are one of only seven English councils and the only one in the north east to receive Payroll Assurance Scheme CIPP accreditation, guaranteeing a high quality and professional payroll service.
The Assessor’s report quoted:
thanks to the absolutely fabulous team who made this assessment the easiest and most inspiring assessment I have ever done. From the open and frank discussions with the team and plethora of evidence viewed it is very clear the payroll operation is very well run and DCC is a very professional organisation admirably dedicated to moving the council forward for its own employees and their business operations
