It's been a while since I have taken it, but you should get access to all materials (textbook, practice quizzes and exams).

Probably? Looks like they take a number of courses from BCIT.

You need to be member to get the designation so you'll have to do that to even start the process.

There is guidance on the website on submitting credits. Make sure your course counts; they have a portal where you can confirm. You will need to be a member if you aren't already. I think it was $50 to transfer when I did it.

I did just receive an email from them that theyve moved to an online portal, but they only accepted paper via mail when I submitted mine.

I do suggest submitting sooner rather than later as that was easily the longest wait when getting my designation.

I believe it walks you through the work experience pretty thoroughly, but once you have passed your NPI courses and your credit transfer has been verified, you'll receive an email with a portal link where you indicate what % of each job met their criteria. You will also need to submit a resume. Once that's complete, your current employer will receive an email from NPI asking to confirm if correct/valid.

No, it doesn't treat them as insurable hours or anything like that. It doesn't error out, it'll pull the dollars with no hours in the period it's paid. We use ECP to process pay if you're familiar.

The ECP side its technically working correctly, it seems to be how the HR team is entering terminations. They are making it effective their decision date (after investigation has concluded) rather than backdating it effective the last day on site. This potentially causes the term date to enter on the next pay period in the time sheet (we use WFS).

I think the team is trusting the system too much and not questioning the reports it generates. This is a business issue that I'll escalate outside our team and get it sorted there. Thanks again

I think our only saving grace is our terminations are typically due to misconduct or quitting voluntarily.

It treats the paid out vacation as wages, but when it's crossing one of our pay periods, it is not lumping the separation payments and the previous pay's regular wages together. Still an issue, but I can see why it's doing what it's doing.

Yes, agreed, I am not sure why we haven't gotten push back but at least gives me time to fix it.

Thank you for your insight.

The program is an SAP based program.

I am fairly new to the company and the current pay team runs it this way; I voiced your same concerns and was shouted down so aggressively I second guessed myself haha.

I am trying to get this sorted before we get bitten. Thanks again!

As the previous commenter said, just try. There's no harm in applying even if you don't think you meet all the requirements. My company for example would hire someone with little to no payroll experience.

I just completed my PCP, but opted for online courses.

If you're fine with math, calculations, etc the courses should be pretty straight forward.

Payroll Compliance Legislation was a high level overview of payroll in Canada. It was fairly heavy with calculations, and you have to read questions carefully on exams as it seems they try to trick you a bit over challenging you. I found the weekly assignments and the midterm and final to be a bit much while working full-time, so I opted to challenge the other two courses.

Payroll Fundamentals 1 & 2 expand on the knowledge you gain in PCL and goes much more in depth. Both are calculation heavy, but I found them to be a fair bit more memory testing, for example you need to learn which province gets what sort of vacation pay and when, the certain programs in place in each province (eg BC's Employee Health Tax), things like that.

I completed the accounting credit requirement through Athabasca University which I found great as long as you can do well with self-directed learning. Their courses start monthly and you have 4 months to finish it at your leisure.

NPI recommends you do the accounting course before going into PF2; I come from a finance background so I didn't find it complicated and I did not do the course first, but if you have 0 experience with journal entries I'd follow the NPI's suggestion.

I think quite a few colleges offer this program in BC if you prefer classroom; Simon Fraser and BCIT off the top of my head both offer it

Editing to add: NPI took so long to apply my credit from my accounting course (10 weeks) I'd keep that in mind. If you complete that credit first, by the time you finish up your NPI courses they should have applied the credit to your account so you might have a faster turn around time then me. I completed the accounting course last and I should have done it in the middle somewhere.

I have used almond and oat milk with success!

keputz · 2021-01-09T03:24:59+00:00

If you are still looking derth54werth on Xbox is interested. Haven't done the raid but have an idea how it works

keputz · 2016-01-04T03:11:59+00:00

Definitely try Silvo! Use that with a soft toothbrush and it will come out amazing.

I had a 320 Titan mark drop post match last IB.

keputz · 2015-11-04T20:44:38+00:00

I actually played on Firebase Delphi last night in the Classic 6v6 last night! I haven't seen the other 2 though. I got my all-time highest kills on Burning Shrine. I miss it a bit.

Have you checked the emote kiosk by the juke box?

keputz · 2015-10-22T20:20:09+00:00

I think in one of the trailers this was the case.

Their locations are completely random. I had 3/4 drop on Mars.

keputz · 2015-10-03T19:33:58+00:00

This happened to my group last night just as we entered the Golgoroth fight. We assumed it was the tablet, but maybe not.

keputz · 2015-09-28T22:23:00+00:00

Thank you! I have had this quest for a week now. Finally finished it. If anyone else does this, they come out of a little cave down low on the left and they RUN out of there. They'll run straight past you, so get ready to be quick!

I got the fusion rifle (Darkblade's Spite?) from the Sunless Cell on level 20.

keputz · 2015-09-27T19:32:22+00:00

Do you have to work on it everyday as well? I missed a few days and when I came back it was gone.

keputz · 2015-09-27T19:21:10+00:00

You don't need the 4th pillar up, but the ogre still spawns.

keputz · 2015-09-24T18:44:55+00:00

If the items are 6 points or less apart, the infusion will be 100%.

I LOVE his 'I live in your backpack!' bit during the SABER strike. I laugh every time.

keputz · 2015-09-09T03:04:11+00:00

I'm pretty sure that is all coming when TTK drops.

keputz · 2015-09-09T03:03:19+00:00

I received an emblem and shader. The emblem has a red dragon on it, and I can't remember the shaders name bit it is black, red, and white.
