The National Payroll Institute (NPI) offers the Payroll Leadership Professional (PLP) designation. According to the NPI, the PLP designation “is your opportunity to elevate your career, influence organizational success, and position yourself as a vital partner to business strategy.

Individuals who complete the five courses – three core courses plus two transfer credit courses – are eligible to receive the PLP designation from the NPI. The NPI awards the designation. However, George Brown Polytechnic Continuing Education has been recognized by the NPI as a provider of the transfer credit courses.
