Equiniti ICS awarded payroll quality accolade

13th April 2010

Irish business process outsourcing and IT service provider Equiniti ICS has been awarded a Payroll Quality Partnership (PQP) accreditation by the Institute of Payroll Professionals (IPP).

The award recognises organisations that apply best practice in payroll professional development as well as demonstrating that they have met stringent criteria set out by the IPP in order to provide a compliant and efficient payroll service.

The PQP accreditation is part of the IPP's ongoing goal to uphold the highest standards in the payroll industry, with 14 organisations accredited so far and more than 60 companies engaged to the scheme.

Liz Lay, associate director of learning and development at the IPP, said: "The institute is working hard in raising the profile of the payroll profession and it is through organisations such as Equiniti ICS demonstrating their commitment to best practice in payroll and professional development that this becomes possible.

Marianne Hendron, training and quality officer at Equiniti ICS, said: "We are delighted to have been recognised for the importance we place on staff development. We want our employees to see payroll as a profession and not just a job, and to give our clients confidence in the level of service we provide. To that end, this accreditation builds on the professional IPP qualifications we put staff through and, of course, we will continue to develop the excellent approach established by the PQP standard."
