National Payroll Institute

The National Payroll Institute is a professional association representing payroll workers in Canada. The Institute was formed in 1978 as the Canadian Payroll Association, and rebranded in 2022. The Institute offers two certification programs for payroll administrators and managers, and advocates for the profession and employers' interests through government lobbying and its magazine, Dialogue.

Since 1995, the Institute has hosted National Payroll Week in Canada, coinciding with the observance in other countries.
