In what turned out to be an action-packed month, we discussed the revelation that a general election was imminent and what that meant for payroll professionals including the numerous risks and concerns the political fallout would yield.

And in cheerier news, we welcomed a new expert to the Payroll Question Time panel: Mathew Akrigg - Policy & Research Officer at The Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP)! Mathew hit the ground running and answered a raft of tricky questions from the live audience.

Here is what was on the agenda this month:

Troubleshooting and support – RTI, errors and mismatches, support lines from HMRC and more!

General election announced

Inputting of hours worked – what this means, freeports and investment zones impact

Low pay commission / living wage discussed

Sick note culture – hospitality industry tips and discussion on National Insurance / TN numbers

Then and now – From fractional workers to bitcoin, how relevant were those predictions for our industry? (While this was on the agenda, we had so many questions we ran out of time, so it will likely be on the June PQT instead!)
