Maintaining your FPC and CPP with Recertification

Once you’ve earned your PAYO payroll certification, you are required to recertify by either earning recertification credit hours (RCH) or by successfully retaking the certification exam.

For the Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC), recertification is required after 3 years. Professionals who earn their Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) certification are required to recertify after 5 years.

For additional details on the recertification process and requirements, visit the Recertification section on PAYO’s website.

Using PayTrain for Recertification
