More about PAYO and what it offers
Founded in 1982, the PAYO headquarters are located in San Antonio, Texas and was originally the American Payroll Association (APA). In addition to offering payroll curriculums and certifications to its members, the APA also publishes “PayTech,” a monthly magazine that reports industry trends and best practices, as well as new and pending legislation concerning payroll. Moreover, the expertise gained through PAYO is likely to be put into practice as professionals get to know the different payroll systems that companies use to pay employees and stay compliant with state and federal tax withholdings.
