NZPPA People

NZPPA has a small core team of dedicated payroll professionals that support NZPPA activities and its members, all with the aim of developing and gaining recognition for payroll as a recognised profession in New Zealand.

NZPPA has a mix of employees and trusted contractors through its nationwide network of payroll professionals that enables NZPPA to provide payroll resources when needed anywhere at any time.

The Team:

David Jenkins, NZPPA CEO (BBS, BEd, BAppSci, GradDipALT)
David Jenkins formed NZPPA in 2007 when he saw there was no recognition or support for the essential work payroll professionals do every day to pay employees correctly and on time.

With more than twenty-five years of consulting experience at a senior level in New Zealand, Australia, and globally, he specialises in payroll and human resource management, employee relations, personnel learning and development, and information technology (payroll and HRIS).

His career path has involved him in work for some of the largest organisations in a wide range of industries in both New Zealand and Australia.

David loves payroll and payroll people!

With his previous experience — and since NZPPA was established in 2007 — David has been able to be involved with an extensive range of payroll systems in many types of businesses.

Currently, he develops and delivers all NZPPA training, events, payroll auditing, and NZPPA PayTech AdviceLine services (he is a one-stop shop for payroll!).
