to develop and maintain a high degree of skill.

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

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) .

As liaison to government agencies impacting
payroll, the APA delivers authoritative updates
on federal and state legislative and regulatory
developments. The APA works to influence
the legislative and regulatory processes that so
greatly impact payroll's daily environment by
testifying at Congressional, Treasury, and IRS
hearings and meetings. From recommending
changes to employment tax forms to commenting
and testifying on payroll regulations and law
changes, the APA provides the leadership
expected from a professional association.
