About Us

Mission Statement

The Greater Rochester Area Payroll Association, Inc., a chapter of PayrollOrg (PAYO), is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization centered on providing education to payroll and human resources professionals. 
 
Our responsibilities as professionals are to accurately pay record and report the wages of our workforce to state, local, and federal government agencies on a daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual basis. To accomplish this goal, we offer the following activities:

  • Monthly meetings with guest speakers to address payroll, accounting, and human resources issues. 

  • Payroll certification review courses for anyone whose goal is to achieve professional distinction as a Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) or Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC).

  • Seminars partnered with our vendors to update us on changing laws, technology, and services to enhance our job skills and value to our employers.

Payroll Tax Facts Fast

There are times during the year when you know an important change in federal rules, regulations, or forms is imminent. With PayrollOrg you will stay ahead of the pack. This Chapter brings you up to date speaker presentations and topics monthly.

  • Do you know what the financial penalties are for failing to file payroll data on magnetic media if your company meets the mandatory qualifications? What the potential penalties are for violations of the Wage and Hour Law enforced by the U.S. Department of Labor? What can happen if your employees are not paid overtime correctly or do not receive their paychecks on time?

  • Do you know what one late pension payment to a union cost?

  • Did you know that close to one-third of the companies in the United States are currently considering acquisition of a new system to process the payroll? And that the research done, the conversion team formed and the choices made could result in saving a company hundreds of dollars each year?

The effective payroll professional saves your company money and exposure to liability by processing the payroll accurately, efficiently and timely. This requires keeping abreast of the technological and legislative trends which have impact on the payroll function and ultimately, the company.
