About us

NZPPA works within a framework of three entities:

The aim of NZIPI is to promote payroll as a profession in New Zealand. Its management committee are from the payroll industry.

NZIPI aims are to:

  • Educate employers on what payroll practitioners actually do,
  • Promote payroll as a career,
