A Message from the Study Group Coordinator, Debby Perry, CPP,   760-807-0681

Registration for the Spring 2020 CPP/FPC (Certified Payroll Professional/Fundamental Payroll Certification) Study Group is now open!

Please send an email with your interest as soon as possible to ncpchapter@gmail.com.  The Study Group begins February 8th and will be held both in person and on-line through March 28th.  You can attend as many sessions as you would like and if you are certified, you will earn 6 RCH credits per session.

I recommend that you purchase the 2019 Payroll Source textbook which is what the Spring 2020 exams will be based on.  If I get 10 or more orders for the 2019 text, we can get a 10% discount from the American Payroll Association.  Time is limited though!  We need to know via email if you plan to participate in the Study Group and whether or not you wish to purchase the textbook as soon as possible.  The 2019 Payroll Source text will be used as a reference during the Study Group, but any recent Payroll Source textbook can be used.

You are not required to take the test.  You can make your decision whether you wish to or not after the Study Group begins and you learn more about certification.  The exams will be held between March 21, 2020 and April 18, 2020.

NEW THIS YEAR!  This study group will be available on-line via Microsoft Teams as well as in person at my home in Frederick, CO.  Links to both the Study Group Syllabus and the KSA’s are attached for your review (Knowledge/Skills/Abilities – these are what the exams are based on).

The cost to attend the entire six Study Group Sessions, plus one day of calculations and a final Study Group “Boot-camp” is being offered this year for $100, the lowest cost in Colorado and the surrounding areas! When replying in the affirmative (no need to respond if in the negative), please let me know if you will be a Student or a Mentor (Session Instructor) and if you will be attending in Frederick, CO or via Microsoft Teams On-Line.  Additional details will come once I have a list of attendees.  Thank you and if you have any questions/concerns, please let me know.

Warm regards,

Federal & State Tax Calculations with the 2020 W-4 Form

The 2020 Form W-4 is here! Do you understand how it impacts both federal and state income tax calculations? In this session, you will learn how the information from the Form W-4 is used to calculate FITW, how states using the W-4 have changed their SITW calculations, and we will address how to explain how the calculation changes impact your employees.
