CONGRATULATIONS PGQM 2019 WINNERS

Our Payroll Giving clients knocked it out of the park this year

The Payroll Giving Quality Mark is a government-backed accreditation, rewarding companies offering Payroll Giving with a Quality Mark which they can use to celebrate and promote their achievements. Organisations of all sizes, whose employees donate to charity through Payroll Giving are recognised with either a Standard, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum or Diamond level Quality Mark (see the criteria below).

We are excited to reveal the winners of this year's Payroll Giving Quality Mark and want to congratulate all of our Give As You Earn clients for their commitment to Payroll Giving! The generosity of your employees means charities have benefited hugely from receiving sustainable income streams and we can't thank you enough.

AN ACHIEVEMENT TO SHOUT ABOUT

Are you ready to enter a whole new ball game?

  • It’s an official government-backed accreditation to showcase the goodwill of your company and can boost employee engagement.
  • Socially-aware customers mean higher expectations from companies. Improve your brand perception with a PGQM and show that social responsibility matters.
  • 75% of millennials are willing to take a pay cut to work for a responsible company and 83% would be more loyal to a business that enables them to contribute towards solving social and environmental problems*. 

Once you're awarded a Quality Mark, you'll receive a certificate and a copy of the recognised logo which you can use on your website, letterheads and other corporate literature to promote your achievement to staff, clients, customers and other important stakeholders.

What you need to be the best in your field

The accreditation is based on the percentage of employees giving through your CAF Give As You Earn scheme from your entire UK-based workforce, and calculated annually based on uptake. 

You qualify for the standard Payroll Giving Quality Mark just by offering CAF Give As You Earn. However, depending on how successful your scheme is, you may be able to achieve a higher award level. Take a look below to see what you need to do to qualify:
  • How do I qualify for Bronze?
    Awarded to employers that achieve 1% or more employee participation in Payroll Giving.
  • How do I qualify for Silver?
    Awarded to employers that achieve 5% or more employee participation in Payroll Giving.
  • How do I qualify for Gold?
    Awarded to employers that achieve 10% or more employee participation in Payroll Giving and either pay the administration charges, match donations or actively promote Payroll Giving.
  • How do I qualify for Platinum?
    Awarded to employers that achieve 20% or more employee participation in Payroll Giving. Additionally, the employer must either pay the Payroll Giving Agency administration charge, match donations or demonstrate that they have carried out an active promotion of Payroll Giving during the previous year.
