Rebranding FAQ

PayrollOrg will continue to provide the same quality education, training, publications, and resources that APA has provided for the past 40+ years. By combining the two organizations, we are bringing together payroll professionals from the U.S. and around the world and offering more opportunities and knowledge sharing than ever before!

We look forward to adding more enhancements to your membership benefits in the future. For example, in tandem with our rebranding, we are pleased to announce a new online community, called The Payroll Community, which will bring together payroll professionals around the world for online networking, knowledge sharing, and engagement. Current APA membership benefits such as the Hotline Referral Service and Payroll ListServ will be folded into The Payroll Community, for more modern functionality.

Your subscription will be transferred from GPMI to PayrollOrg. You will still have access to the subscriber benefits you've come to rely on, including access to Global Payroll eMagazine, educational opportunities, and whitepapers.

No, you will still be able to access our online platforms using your existing credentials.

Aside from updating your records and social media profiles to reflect the name change and adding the domain name @payroll.org to your email server's safe-sender list, no other action is needed. All invoices from us will remind you to make note of our new name and include our billing address.

Yes, americanpayroll.org and gpminstitute.com will come together under www.payroll.org.

If you subscribe to APA's online bookshelf at bookshelf.americanpayroll.org, that URL will change to bookshelf.payroll.org. If you have that URL bookmarked, it will automatically redirect to bookshelf.payroll.org.

Note that while staff email addresses will be changing to the payroll.org domain, any emails sent to @americanpayroll.org or @gpminstitute.com will be routed to the appropriate email box. When you receive a reply, it will come from the @payroll.org domain, so there should be no disruption in email communication. IMPORTANT: Please be sure to have your IT Department add the domain @payroll.org to your email server's safe-sender list.

When you renew your membership, you will be sent an email with a link to download your new member card reflecting our new name and logo.

Essentially, no. We've removed any organization name from official titles, but the main titles and names are unchanged. As an example, "APA's Guide to State Payroll Laws" is now the "Guide to State Payroll Laws." Under one brand, PayrollOrg, we remain committed to being the leader in education, publications, and other resources for payroll leaders worldwide.

Yes, "PAYO" (pronounced "Pay-o" like "Day-o" in the song made famous by Harry Belafonte) combines the name "PayrollOrg" into a short, catchy acronym. We think payroll pros will love it!

This question applies to dues-paying members located in the U.S. Yes, PayrollOrg has elected to pay a proxy tax on the total amount of its lobbying expenditures. Accordingly, you may deduct 100% of your membership dues as an ordinary business expense.
