Formerly called | Canadian Payroll Association |
The National Payroll Institute, formerly the Canadian Payroll Association (CPA), represents Canadian employers' payroll interests.
Canada's 1.5 million employers annually pay $929 billion in wages and taxable benefits, $310 billion in federal and provincial statutory remittances, and $180 billion in health and retirement benefits, as well as produce 26 million T4s, 9 million T4As, and 7 million RL-1s - all while complying with over 200 regulatory requirements.[ citation needed]
The association launched a "Declaration for Payroll", calling on employers to have well-managed pay systems. [4] [5]
The CPA was founded in 1978 by a group of payroll practitioners who proposed changes to the first Record of Employment (ROE) form. They advocate on behalf of employers to federal and provincial/territorial governments, seeking to proactively influence payroll- and benefits-related legislation to enable all stakeholders to administer them in an efficient and effective manner.[ citation needed]
The association changed its name from Canadian Payroll Association to National Payroll Institute on June 15, 2022. [6]
A series of surveys by the association have shown that about half of Canadians live from paycheque to paycheque. [7] [8] [9] [10]
The CPA offers two Certifications, Payroll Compliance Practitioner (PCP) and Certified Payroll Manager (CPM). The required courses for each certification are:
Payroll Compliance Professional (PCP) | Certified Payroll Manager (CPM) |
---|---|
Payroll Compliance Legislation | Introduction to Payroll Management |
Payroll Fundamentals 1 | Applied Payroll Management |
Introduction to Accounting | Managerial Accounting |
Payroll Fundamentals 2 | Compensation and Benefits Management |
Organizational Behaviour Management |
Certification holders are required to:
Payroll courses are offered at over 50 post-secondary institutions and 90 campuses across Canada. The courses are also offered through an instructor led online program that starts every month.
The CPA holds more than 400 professional development seminars across Canada each year to address key payroll topics ranging from Learning Payroll I and II which covers the basics, to Taxable Benefits and Year-end.
The CPA's Annual Conference & Trade Show, held in a different city each year, is a payroll networking event featuring more than 50 educational and keynote sessions. It also includes the largest payroll trade show in Canada.
National Payroll Week (NPW) is the largest annual public relations initiative of the Canadian Payroll Association. NPW recognizes the accomplishments of payroll professionals, the payroll community and The Canadian Payroll Association (CPA), by building greater awareness of the size and scope of payroll and its impact on business, government and employees across Canada.[ citation needed]
