The American Payroll Association is an organization of payroll professionals, dedicated to the increasing the professional skills of its members and to the recognition of the payroll profession as the specialized profession it has become.
The APA offers its members a computer- based training program, numerous workshops, seminars, symposiums, and conferences in order for payroll professionals to develop and maintain a high degree of skill.
Some of the benefits of belonging to this fine organization include: annually receiving a directory of members by name and industry, a "hot line" service that helps you get fast and accurate answers to questions that won't wait, and a monthly magazine called PAYTECH, a monthly e-newsmagazine called ePayXpress, and monthly e-newsletter called Payroll Currently, all of which contain information about the latest developments of interest to payroll professionals, including articles on special topics. APA members receive breaking payroll news on laws, regulations, and forms via e-mail and on APA's Web site.
Also available by subscription is PayState Update, a bi-weekly state and local compliance newsletter to keep your current on legislative changes.
The APA also sponsors a two-tiered certification program for payroll professionals to promote expertise among payroll professionals and excellence within the profession. For both the Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) and Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC exams are held twice each year, once in the Spring and again in September. This exam tests the skills of payroll professionals in fundamentals and basics of payroll, taxation, systems, accounting, and management. Upon successful completion of these exams, the payroll professional is given the designation of Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) or Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC).
