SABPP notes that in some cases registered HR professionals fail to renew their membership timeously, possibly due to changes in employer and/or email addresses, leading to lack of communication between the HR professional and the SABPP. It is therefore a member’s responsibility to contact SABPP of any changes with regards to their contact details. SABPP membership is valid from January to 31 December of each year. Therefore, renewal payments are due every beginning of the year.
 
No refunds can be claimed within the year. Should a member wish to cancel/deregister their membership, a formal request is to be submitted before January of the new year.
 
HR Professionals who have not renewed their membership for over two years should re-apply. In this case, they will need to complete all application forms and attach all the required documents and pay a new application fee.
 
a. Renewal payments outstanding and not paid after the 1st of September of the current year lead to suspension or deregistration of membership.
