Quality Mark

The Payroll Giving Quality Mark celebrates the achievements of employers that have adopted and successfully promoted Payroll Giving schemes in their workplaces and have enabled their employees to give to the charities that matter most to them.

The Quality Mark provides a benchmark of achievement, celebrates good practice and recognises employers who operate exceptional schemes.
