CPP Quizzes, Questions & Answers

Dealing with payroll concerns takes specialized knowledge. The American Payroll Association developed the Certified Payroll Professional exam to make sure that people hiring a payroll professional know what they’re looking for. Did you know that the CPP exam includes questions of 24 separate forms that employers often require?

Can you determine which benefits are tax-exempt and which aren’t? Do you know what special steps you have to take when dealing with foreign workers? The CPP exam has seven sections. Can you name them? The answer is Core Payroll Concepts, Compliance / Research and Resources, Calculation of the Paycheck, Payroll Process and Supporting Systems and Administration, Payroll Administration and Management, Audits, and Accounting. If you can answer that question, then you are definitely ready to check out some of your quizzes and see if you can answer those as well!
