APA Hall of Fame

The American Payroll Association's Payroll Hall of Fame virtually enshrines payroll professionals who have contributed greatly to the advancement of the payroll profession and to the mission of the Association.

New honorees are inducted each year. Every spring at the APA Annual Congress, the current year inductees are announced.

Upon induction, an honoree is featured in the photo gallery for that year. The inductee's name and photo link to an accomplishments page, listing the honoree's awards and other recognition. The photo gallery for each year is permanently archived in the Payroll Hall of Fame.

If, in later years, an inductee receives other recognition qualifying for the Hall of Fame, those honors are noted on the individual's accomplishments page. In addition, the individual's name and photo will be displayed on the photo gallery page for those later years.
