HOME

Welcome to the Chicago Chapter of the American Payroll Association

 

In today's rapidly changing payroll environment, payroll professionals need to have an excellent source for obtaining the payroll information needed to make correct and informed decisions. Hopefully by using this website and the American Payroll Association (www.americanpayroll.org) website, Chicago area payroll professionals will have the resources to obtain payroll legislative and regulatory updates and valuable information regarding the educational tools that are available to become successful payroll professionals.

The main focus of the Chicago Chapter is payroll education by holding quarterly meetings and conducting Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) and Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC) review classes that provide networking opportunities and give payroll professionals the chance to earn educational credits for attendance. The Chicago Chapter supports other charitable activities by volunteering time and making donations. During National Payroll Week the Chapter organizes for the members, a blend of educational, networking, and community service opportunities.

Annually, toward the end of the year, the Chicago Chapter members and supporters of the payroll profession gather in the evening to attend a Holiday Party, donate new toys or clothing to needy children, and celebrate the accomplishments of members, volunteers, and sponsors. Check this home page often to become a successful payroll professional. The Chicago Chapter board hopes to meet you at our meetings or classes by your referring to our Events Calendar and attending the planned activities. The Chicago Chapter is a nonprofit association and is an autonomous and independent Chapter of the American Payroll Association.

Thank you for visiting the Chicago Chapter's website.

2008 Chicago Chapter Relay for Life - has achieved Silver Status in raising funds for American Cancer Society
Once again the Chicago Chapter participated in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life and this year with two teams - Team CAPA and Team NPW.  This year's relay was on June 20th  and due to the rain it was held inside at the Oak Brook Park District. The Chapter has been informed that it was awarded "Silver Status" because the Chicago Chapter teams raised funds for the American Cancer Society in excess of $4,800.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life® event is held each year, across the nation and it brings together entire communities to take part in the fight against cancer.  It’s a time and place where people come to celebrate those who have survived cancer, remember those we’ve lost, and fight back against a disease that touches too many lives. Thanks in part to the donations from Relay For Life and other events, the American Cancer Society is saving lives, helping those touched by cancer, and empowering people to fight this disease all over the world.
Thank-you to all the Chicago Chapter members who participated in the actual event and to those who made donations.  Thanks especially to Katie Staffeldt who was the team captain of this event.
