Welcome!
In this Handbook, you will find an overview of the HRCI re-certification process. Thank
you for being a champion of people and organizations and for maintaining your HRCI
certification as an important part of your HR career journey.
Additionally, the PHRi and SPHRi are both accredited by the International Accreditation Service
(IAS). IAS is an independent, third-party organization that accredits certification programs that have
demonstrated compliance with the internationally recognized ISO/IEC 17024 standard.
Questions or Comments?
Thank you for being certified by HRCI. The recertification process is a critical component
of maintaining professional certification, and HRCI is here to support you during this
process. If you have questions or comments, please feel free to contact us:
Email: info@hrci.org
Website: www.hrci.org
Holding an HRCI credential requires that you actively demonstrate continued competence
to stay up to date with changes in the HR profession through continued professional
development and recertification. To keep your HRCI certification active, you are required
to recertify every three (3) years. This can be done either by accumulating the required
HR-related recertification credit hours through Professional Development or Professional
Achievement or by testing again to re-earn that credential.
To recertify by exam, the exam must be taken before the individual’s recertification cycle
end date. Otherwise, the certification will be considered a new one. If the exam is not
passed, a person may still recertify via continuing education, as long as it is done by the
end of the suspended period.
This handbook will guide you through the recertification policies and processes.
HR-Related Activities
All your recertification activities must be HR-related to qualify. In general, if an activity can
be tied to the specific HRCI Exam Content Outline associated with your designation and
adds to a professional’s knowledge of the HR field, it will be awarded recertification credit.
When you submit your recertification application, you must show how the activities are all
HR-related.
Activities that focus on personal development are not eligible or accepted for
recertification credit. Examples of personal development courses or activities are “How to
Reduce Stress,” “Developing Your Network for Success,” and “Time Management.”
If an activity has not been pre-approved by HRCI, through its Approved Provider Program,
you must be prepared to explain how it is related to your HR responsibilities. When
describing such activities, you should always relate them to the relevant Exam Content
Outline associated with your credential(s).
On occasion, an HRCI Reviewer may not accept the activity if it does not seem to be
HR-related. In that case, we will contact you and ask for more information to better
understand if such activity is appropriate for the requested recertification credit.

recertification cycle timing for renewal will not

recertification requirements. in the following year.
If you earn a second designation in the middle of your current certification cycle, the end date
of the second certification will be synchronized to the end of your initial certification cycle that
coincides with your birth month. Additionally, if required, the specified credit hours needed
to recertify the second designation will be prorated. After the initial recertification period is
complete, all credentials will remain on the same recertification cycle.
If you are earning prorated credit hours, you must still earn the specified credit hours on that
prorated basis. The section below explains this process further and gives helpful example:
• For instance, if you earn the GPHR designation after the PHR, SPHR, or SPHRi, the
requirement to obtain 15 global recertification credit hours over a three-year period would
be adjusted on a biannual basis (for example, 2.5 global HR recertification credit hours every
six months) for the first certification cycle.
• Or, if you earn the SPHR or SPHRi designation after the GPHR, the requirement to obtain
15 business credit hours over a three-year recertification period would be adjusted on a
biannual basis (for example, 2.5 business recertification credit hours every six months) for
the first certification cycle.
In some cases, one continuing education activity may count toward specified credit hours
for more than one certification. For example, a five-hour seminar on global demographic
workforce trends could count toward meeting the specified credit hours requirement for both
the GPHR and SPHR designations. However, those five hours can only be counted once toward
the overall requirement of earning 60 credit hours.
Your prorated specified recertification credit hours will be available in your online profile along
with your certification cycle dates.
Recertification Requirements
Some designations are distinguished by the specific HR experience needed to pass the exam
(SPHR®, SPHRi™, GPHR®, and PHRca®). Likewise, the standards to recertify these designations
include activities specific to this expertise.
Ethics Requirement
HR professionals play an important role while leading ethical practices in today’s workplace.
Effective January 1, 2021, all certificants (excluding Lifetime and Emeritus) must fulfill one ethics
credit as part of the total 45/60 recertification credits requirement. This requirement ensures
our certificants remain aware of crucial ethical practices and behaviors in the workplace. There
is NOT a specific “Ethics Credit” designation to select from when entering the activity. Simply
include one ethics-themed activity in your recertification plan and check the required “ethics
affirmation box” to submit your recertification application.
The chart below illustrates the updated ethics credit requirement for all HRCI certifications.

Note: If you hold multiple credentials, as an example the SPHR and SPHRi, you only need to meet the 15
business credit AND 1 ethics credit a single time to satisfy your recertification requirement.
The specialized Business and Strategy credits are in line with the “Responsibilities
& Knowledge” requirements of “Functional Area 01” of the SPHR / or the SPHRi
designations. A certificant must demonstrate:

termination of employment, etc.) if you submit the adequate and timely documentations
when requested by HRCI. To inquire about such exception, please send an e-mail
describing your hardship to the recertification team at info@hrci.org. including
documentation of such hardship (lay-off, unemployment payment, etc.) Once you provide
the requested documentation, it will be reviewed and a determination will be sent via
e-mail to inform you of HRCI’s decision.
Emeritus Status
HRCI Emeritus status allows currently certified HR professionals whose status is still active
(not suspended or expired) to continue to use their designation(s) after they retire from the
HR profession. This means that the certificant will no longer have to recertify every 3-years
going forward. There is a one-time $150 fee to apply for Emeritus status.
Please consider the Emeritus Status carefully before you apply and request this
change. If you are awarded the Emeritus Status and later decide to re-enter the HR
profession, you will forfeit the Emeritus Status and must re-apply and re-take the qualifying
HRCI exam to regain the designation(s) you previously had. To apply, please complete the
Emeritus application.
Life Certification
Prior to 1996, HRCI granted Life Certification to certified HR professionals who had
successfully completed two sequential recertification cycles. In 1996, HR Certification
Institute’s Board of Directors discontinued this option, recognizing that a constantly
changing profession requires continual professional development.
If you hold a Life Certification and then earn another designation, you will have to recertify
by completing the required credit hours (including any specified credit hours) only for the
additional designation.

the required certification process, which includes meeting certain eligibility
requirements and passing a certification examination. HRCI certificants subscribe
to a Code of Ethical and Professional Responsibility. By applying for certification or
recertification, HR professionals agree that they have read and will comply with the
Code of Ethical and Personal Responsibility, the Complaints and Disciplinary Policy
and other certification program policies. These disciplinary procedures are not formal
legal proceedings, thus many formal rules and practices of a court proceeding are
not observed. The rules are intended to afford due process and fairness.
3. S
uccessful candidates are granted certification by HRCI and may hold themselves
to the public as such. In order to maintain and enhance the credibility of HRCI
certification programs, HRCI has adopted these Administrative Procedures (the
“Procedures”) to allow consumers and others to bring complaints concerning a
certificant’s conduct to HRCI. If a violation constitutes grounds for sanctions as set
forth below, the Certification Council established by the HRCI Board may reprimand
or revoke the individual’s certification.
c. An irregular event in connection with HRCI examination, including (but not limited
to) copying examination materials, causing a disruption in the testing area, and
failure to abide by reasonable test administration rules;
d. Taking the exam for any purpose other than that of becoming credentialed in the
area referenced in the title of the exam;
i. Conviction of a felony under federal or state law in a matter related to the practice
of, or qualifications for, professional activity.
5. It should be emphasized that actions taken under these Procedures do not constitute
enforcement of the law, although referral to appropriate federal, state, or local
government agencies may be made by HRCI regarding the conduct of the certificant
in appropriate situations.
Individuals who submit complaints are not entitled to any relief or damages by virtue of
these Procedures, although they will receive notice of the actions taken if the submitter
agrees in advance and in writing to maintain any such information in confidence.
1. T
he Certification Council is responsible for development and administration of the
HRCI certification programs and for the implementation of these Procedures.
2. The Certification Council Chair is specifically responsible for ensuring that these
Procedures are implemented and followed.
3. All Certification Council members, HRCI staff, and other individuals engaged in
investigations or decisions with respect to any complaint under these Procedures
may be indemnified and defended by HRCI from and against liability arising from
HRCI-related activities to the extent provided by law.
C. Complaints
2. The submitter may be asked to complete the HRCI Complaint Submission Form and
include the specific grounds for sanctions as reference above in Section A.

complaint based on the date of the violation; or
5. The Manager shall make the decisions described above and provide the notices
required here under within 60 days of receipt of the complaint.
D. Review of Complaint
1. For each submission involving an alleged violation of the grounds for sanctions that
the Manager concludes is a valid and actionable complaint, the Certification Council
authorizes an investigation by HRCI staff into its specific facts or circumstances
to whatever extent is necessary in order to clarify, expand, or corroborate the
information provided by the submitter.
2. Both the individual submitting the complaint and the certificant who is the subject of
the investigation (or his or her employer) may be contacted for additional information
with respect to the complaint. HRCI may at its discretion contact such other
individuals who may have knowledge of the facts and circumstances surrounding the
complaint.
4. HRCI shall undertake all reasonable efforts to ensure that the review process set
forth in this section shall be completed within 90 days of the determination to
investigate.
6. HRCI may be assisted in the conduct of its investigation by additional HRCI staff and/
or legal counsel. The Manager, Customer Experience exercises general supervision
over all investigations and is responsible for presenting the findings of any complaint
investigation that has been escalated to the Certification Council for disciplinary
action.
E. Determination of Violation
1. I f the Certification Council determines that a violation has not occurred, the
complaint is dismissed with notice to the certificant and the individual or entity
who submitted the complaint. The complaint is included in an annual summary
Certification Council report.
2. If the Certification Council determines that a violation has occurred, the Council will
decide on an appropriate sanction.
4. In certain circumstances, the Certification Council may determine that the certificant
who has committed an actionable sanction, should be offered an opportunity to
submit a written assurance that the conduct in question has been terminated and will
not recur. The decision of the Certification Council to make such a determination is
within their discretionary power. If such an offer is extended, the certificant at issue
must submit the required written assurance within 30 days of receipt of the offer, and
the assurance must be submitted in terms that are acceptable to the Certification
Council. If the Certification Council accepts the assurance, notice is given to the
certificant and to the submitter of the complaint, if the submitter agrees in advance
and in writing to maintain the information in confidence.
F. Sanctions
1. Any of the following sanctions may be imposed by the Certification Council upon
a certificant whom the Certification Council has determined to have violated the
grounds for sanctions, although the disciplinary decision applied must reasonably
relate to the nature and severity of the violation, focusing on reformation of the
conduct of the member and deterrence of similar conduct by others:
The HRCI database and certificant’s file will be promptly updated to reflect any
certification suspension or termination.
2. R
eprimand in the form of a written notice from the Certification Council normally
is sent to a certificant who has received his or her first substantiated complaint.
Suspension normally is imposed on a certificant who has received two substantiated
complaints. Termination normally is imposed on a certificant who has received
two substantiated complaints within a two (2) year period, or three (3) or more
substantiated complaints. The Certification Council may at its discretion, however,
impose any of the sanctions, if warranted, in specific cases.
3. Certificants who have been terminated shall have their certification revoked and may
not be considered for HRCI certification in the future. If certification is revoked, any
and all certificates or other materials requested by HRCI must be returned promptly
to HRCI.

three (3) person Appeal Panel. Individuals appointed to serve on the Appeal Panel
cannot be current members of the HRCI Board of Directors or Certification Council.
Appeal Panel members will sign a confidentiality and conflict of interest statement
prior to beginning their service on the committee.
This Appeal Panel may review one or more appeals, upon request of the HRCI
Certification Council Chair. No HRCI staff may serve on the Appeal Panel; further, no
one with any personal involvement or conflict of interest may serve on the Appeal
Panel.
2. The Appeal Panel may only review whether the determination by the Certification
Council was inappropriate because of:
Only facts and conditions up to and including the time of the Certification Council’s
determination as represented by facts known to HRCI are considered during an
appeal. The appeal shall not include a hearing or any similar trial-type proceeding.
Except as otherwise set forth herein, legal counsel is not expected to participate in
the appeal process, unless requested by the appellant and approved by the HRCI
Certification Council and the Appeal Panel. The Certification Council and Appeal
Panel may consult HRCI legal counsel.
4. The decision of the Appeal Panel either affirms or overrules the determination of the
Certification Council but does not address a sanction imposed by the Certification
Council. The decision of the Appeal Panel, including a statement of the reasons for
the decision, is reported to the HRCI Certification Council in writing. The Appeal
Panel decision is binding upon the Certification Council, the certificant who is subject
to the sanction, and all other persons.
H. Resignations
If a certificant who is the subject of a complaint voluntarily surrenders his or her HRCI
certification(s) at any time during the pendency of a complaint under these Procedures,
the complaint will be dismissed without any further action by the Certification Council
or an Appeal Board established after an appeal. If this occurs, the information will be
retained in HRCI’s permanent file for future reference. However, the Certification Council
may authorize the Certification Chair to communicate the fact and date of resignation,
and the fact and general nature of the complaint which was pending at the time of the
resignation, to or at the request of a government entity engaged in the administration
of law. Similarly, in the event of such resignation, the person or entity who submitted the
complaint are notified of the fact and date of resignation and that Certification Council
has dismissed the complaint as a result.
