Just a big thank you to our members for their support as NZPPA has reached and surpassed the 1000+ member mark.
NZPPA was formed in 2007 to develop and gain recognition for the important work payroll professionals do. We have been steadily working towards payroll becoming a recognised profession in its own right in New Zealand, having the same standing as its counterparts in finance or human resources.
From our members’ support, NZPPA is the leading professional payroll body in New Zealand with members throughout the country and overseas (wherever NZ payroll is processed).
Our members pay over 1,750,000+ New Zealand employees!
Payroll practitioners combine a unique skill set with elements of accountancy, employment relations, IT, problem-solving and analysis skills. This is combined with having a thick skin while meeting deadlines and ensuring staff are paid correctly and on time.
NZPPA’s development and recognition in the payroll industry has been through providing a range of services as we have grown with our membership support including:
- beginner to advanced payroll learning opportunities (upfront, online and with NZQA options)
- providing essential payroll information for FREE since 2008 through our ePayroll weekly electronic newsletter
- professional events including the largest two-day annual conference in New Zealand
- payroll technical support available through the NZPPA PayTech AdviceLine (payroll Q&As, audit and new payroll selection services)
- providing the annual payroll resource – the NZPPA Payroll Practice Guide
- submissions to government on legislation that impacts on the work done in payroll and being a voice on issues on behalf of the payroll industry.
With the new, updated NZPPA Certification (provides an annual practising certificate that confirms competency to work in payroll), this will be the next step in providing to the industry and employers a recognised group of true payroll professionals.
NZPPA welcomes and invites you to be a part of growing payroll as a profession in New Zealand.
