Payroll practitioners are the unsung heroes of business. They manage one of the largest costs an employer has while applying legislation, and deadlines, while working in a changing work environment, all to pay employees correctly and on time.

NZPPA as part of building payroll as a recognised profession in New Zealand believes that we must celebrate the essential work that payroll practitioners, teams and leaders do. The award’s aim each year is to highlight exceptional performance undertaken within the payroll industry.
