Run a stronger, safer payroll practice.
Strengthening the practice behind client payroll.
Providing payroll services to clients involves much more than calculating payroll correctly.
Payroll practices need robust compliance processes, clear operating procedures, effective continuity arrangements and well-defined responsibilities between provider and client.
Client Payroll Exchange provides practical tools, frameworks and support to help firms build safer, stronger and more resilient payroll operations.
Built for client payroll practices
Focused solely on UK firms delivering payroll services to clients, and the practice behind that payroll.
Evidence-based verification
CPX reviews supplied evidence against defined firm-level requirements before a firm is listed as verified.
Operational support
CPX provides practical compliance and continuity tools.
Careful with data
Member and firm information is handled in line with the CPX privacy notice and UK data protection law.
Running payroll correctly is essential.
Running a resilient payroll practice requires more.
Firm-level compliance, information security, documented processes, clear client responsibilities, continuity planning and operational controls all sit around the payroll itself.
CPX helps independent payroll bureaux, sole practitioners and payroll practices strengthen the way they operate.
Compliance
Understand key firm-level requirements, keep evidence organised and build stronger compliance processes around your payroll practice.
Continuity
Prepare for illness, absence and unexpected disruption so client payroll delivery does not depend entirely on one individual.
Resilience
Build stronger processes, documentation and client arrangements around the way your payroll practice operates.
