The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) has announced plans to use recycled paper for all employeesí payslips. The move comes as part of a drive for greater, greener efficiency across the Council.
The Council will also use recycled paper for its P60 tax forms, distributed to employees every year. Also, it is no longer sending payslips on a monthly basis to its pensioners.

ìThis year we will move towards a paperless environment, where most employees check their payslips online,î said Paul Lawrence, head of HR systems, contracts and pensions at RBKC. ìHowever, we still have some employees who donít have regular access to the Internet, and for these recycled paper for payslips will cut carbon emissions and help us operate a greener HR department.î
RBKC is currently running down current stocks of existing payslips, and expects its first payroll run using recycled paper to take place within six months. The move is happening alongside a number of other ëgreení Council initiatives, including duplex printing, reusing scrap paper and recycling food and drinks containers.
ìFor a council the size of RBKC, moving on to recycled payslips will make a genuine difference to its carbon emissions,î said Wendy Logan, Technical Operations Manager for outsourcing services at NorthgateArinso. ìWeíre testing the system extensively so there are no problems during the first run. When youíre printing payslips for 7,800 employees, thereís no time for jams or errors.î
