About SDPO

Learn some of the things the San Diego Chapter has to offer.

The San Diego Chapter of PayrollOrg (SDPO) was established in the mid-1980s and proudly became affiliated with the national organization about a decade later. Since then, SDPO has served as a trusted resource and professional home for payroll practitioners throughout the region.

Our members represent a diverse range of industries and organizations—both large and small—including manufacturing, healthcare, payroll processing, higher education, casino gaming, high-tech, and recreation. What unites them is a shared expertise in payroll, human resources, and accounting, and a commitment to maintaining the highest professional standards.

As a nonprofit organization, our primary mission is to provide:

• Professional development
• Legislative and regulatory updates
• Continuing education
• Valuable networking opportunities

At each meeting, we feature knowledgeable guest speakers who address timely and critical topics such as labor law, taxation, compliance updates, and payroll processing best practices. These sessions ensure our members stay informed, prepared, and confident in an ever-changing regulatory environment.
