If you handle payroll from an HR seat, or you run payroll and keep getting pulled into garnishment questions, you have probably looked at the two best-known payroll credentials: the Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) and the Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC).

They are built for different jobs. An HR coordinator who reports injuries and manages return to work does not need an adjuster license, and a claims examiner at a carrier will not get far with a credential designed ...
A forklift operator strains her back, sees the company clinic, gets a prescription muscle relaxant and two days of restricted duty. Is that an OSHA recordable case? Is it a workers' comp claim? The answer to both is probably yes, but for different reasons, and the two answers will not always match.
