Atlanta’s American Payroll Association Chapter president to teach at KSU

Lucy Ramondetta, ADP Atlanta chapter president, will teach PayTrain® Fundamentals at KSU.

 PayTrain® certificate program caters to payroll professionals

KENNESAW, Ga. – Lucinda “Lucy” Ramondetta, CPP, is the new instructor for PayTrain® Fundamentals
starting July 8 to Sept. 9 at KSU’s College of Continuing and Professional Education. Ramondetta is the president of the Atlanta chapter of the American Payroll Association and became a Certified Payroll Professional in 2001. She has more than 20 years of experience in the payroll industry as a business services manager, payroll manager and senior implementation consultant.

“In today’s market, it is important for payroll professionals to equip themselves with the knowledge necessary to stay up to date with the latest trends and regulations impacting payroll,” Ramondetta said. “A certification in payroll gives payroll practitioners a significant edge over job seekers who lack
certification.”

The Paytrain® Fundamentals program and PayTrain® Mastery program (Jan. 13 to March 31, 2015) comprise the Payroll Professional Certificate, a new offering from the College of Continuing and Professional Education in partnership with the American Payroll Association. The program is designed for all levels of payroll administration as well as those interested in preparing for the Fundamental Payroll Certification or Certified Payroll Professional certification exams.

Jennifer Henderson, Payroll Professional Certificate program manager, said, “We are proud to offer this type of program with a high-caliber instructor such as Ramondetta. Our students will benefit from her expertise and will leave our program with an extended body of knowledge for this important industry.”

Students in the PayTrain® program will receive training on topics such payroll concepts, paycheck calculations, record-keeping and payroll calculations, and management and administration. The Fundamentals course is recommended for people new to the payroll industry or who need formal training, FPC exam candidates, or payroll professionals needing recertification credits. The Mastery course is recommended for payroll departments requiring compliance training, payroll professionals seeking professional development, CPP exam candidates, or those needing recertification credits.

“Experience alone does not always make a potential candidate stand out to employers,” Ramondetta said. “It is the individual that has proven their skills by attaining the certification and continues to stay informed with technology and compliance that will be sought after by major employers.”
