Welcome to the Charlotte Chapter of the American Payroll Association!

We strive to provide the most current information possible to make your payroll efforts more efficient and precise. Please enjoy your visit and come back often, as information is always being added.

History: The Charlotte Chapter APA was founded in July,1995. We currently enjoy a membership of over 100 payroll professionals from Charlotte and the surrounding areas representing organizations of a wide variety of sizes and types.

Meetings: Our Chapter meets monthly in Charlotte from February through October. Meetings are held on the third Thursday of the month and meetings are normally scheduled for one and a half hours. Our meeting agenda includes speakers on a wide variety of payroll-related topics, as well as other topics of general interest to the payroll professional, which provides you with an opportunity to earn recertification credit hours (RCH's). Vendors are also invited to participate, allowing them to offer their payroll-related products and services. Please check our calendar for updates and meeting information.

Special Events: Study groups are held twice a year in accordance with the testing schedule for Certified Payroll Professional and Fundamental Payroll Certification programs. National Payroll Week is celebrated the first Thursday after Labor Day in September.
