National Payroll Institute Payroll Compliance Practitioner
Online
The National Payroll Institute (hereafter referred to as the Institute) – formerly the Canadian Payroll Association – offers the Payroll Compliance Practitioner (PCP) designation. According to the Institute, the PCP designation is "the foundation for a career in payroll. Gain an in-depth understanding of the legislative requirements to keep your organization compliant throughout the annual payroll cycle."
Individuals who complete the four required course (Payroll Compliance Legislation, Payroll Fundamentals 1, Payroll Fundamentals 2, and Introduction to Accounting) and the PCP work experience requirements are eligible to receive the PCP designation from the Institute. The Institute awards the designation. However, George Brown College Continuing Education has been recognized by the Institute as a provider of courses that are equivalent to some of the PCP designation’s academic course requirements.
