I passed the Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC) exam this morning. What does this mean? It means that I have the basic knowledge that a payroll professional should have (which helps in supporting those payroll folks I have as clients). It also means that I've met one of my goals on my performance management plan for 2008. I can also put this on my resume and it may help in the grand scheme of things in transferring into the HRO (Human Resource Outsourcing) group in the Ceridian Raleigh office when I move up there this fall.
What it also means is that I haven't lost my skill at studying or learning. These past few weeks leading up to the exam, I've really been anxious, wondering how to keep all of the facts & formulas & rates in my head, when I'm not using them on a daily basis (since I don't do payroll, I just support the software product). My best sections ended up being the payroll calculations section ("I can do math on a calculator!") and the payroll accounting section. And this from a history major even...
Last but not least, I can put those lovely initials "FPC" after my name on my work email signature...what a rush! LOL
