The Payroll & Reward Conference gets underway later today at the Chelsea Harbour Hotel in London. Over the next two days Learn Payroll will be live blogging from the event to keep you abreast of the action and to highlight the key messages.
The conference’s Key Note speaker is Sir Edward Troup, Ex-Executive Chair and First Permanent Secretary, HMRC. He believes that the world is facing a customer digital tax revolution and the payroll profession is a crucial part of this.
“The payroll profession is at the frontline for 30 million PAYE individuals: it has always had a hugely symbiotic relationship with HMRC and this must continue.“HMRC’s MTD, and the blurring of lines between employees and contractors, are huge challenges for the payroll profession.”
Other speakers coming up today include Sola Osinoiki, Global People Operations Lead from Deliveroo who will be discussing the gig economy; Neil Esslemont from The Pensions Regulator; Mathew Davies, HR Director at Addison Lee and Shaun Davis, Global Director of Safety, Health, Wellbeing and Sustainability at Royal Mail Group who will be talking about HR and employee financial wellbeing.
More updates from the conference will be available on Learn Payroll’s blog page later today.
