The Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP) has launched an international payroll initiative.

Its CIPP Paying the World initiative, launched as a result of interest from members and students, will include a new specialist interest group on international payroll, and an international news section on the CIPP website.

Lindsay Melvin, chief executive of the CIPP, said: “Due to globalisation and the workforce becoming increasingly mobile, international payroll has been a huge topic in recent years.

“It was only a matter of time for the institute to expand its international offering, especially with its close ties to the American Payroll Association, Canadian Payroll Association and the National Academy for Indian Payroll.

“Therefore, I am pleased to be introducing the international CIPP Paying the World initiative, which will provide our members with the latest information and news on international payroll, as well as getting them involved in lively discussions on issues surrounding global payroll such as compliance, technology and outsourcing.”
