Revocation

The CHRP designation and HRIA membership can be denied or revoked for any of the following reasons:

• Falsification or misrepresentation of professional employment experience or other information on any membership, certification/recertification or assessment applications or submitted documents to provincial HR associations, IBE, or other regulatory bodies.
• Failure to adhere to the National Code of Ethics.
• Failure to renew provincial HR association membership.
• Violation of testing procedures.
• Failure to pass the certification assessments.
• Failure to meet recertification requirements.

Retirement 

A retired Member is a CHRP who has fully retired from human resources practice and no longer actively uses her/his designation for work purposes. 

Members requesting retired status must meet all of the following requirements:

1. The member is permanently retired from full-time employment and earning less than $20,000 annually in active income as defined below*.
2. The member is not engaged in any activity that would present themselves as a CHRP
3. The member is at least 55 years old.

Retired members are not required to recertify. They must only represent themselves as “CHRP, Retired”.              

Members granted retired status are not eligible to vote.

A retired member who re-enters the work force is required to apply for a change in membership status to “Certified”. The Recertification Committee will determine any required upgrading of professional development at the time of the request, and the member will be required to pay prorated certified member dues for the current year.  Full certified dues will be applicable in the subsequent year.

HRIA reserves the right to request verification of income at anytime.

*Active income includes gross income from all employment or director's fees and/or net income from self-employment; it does not include pension or other retirement income, investment income, support payments or disability income. All other sources of income are considered "active."
