September 4-8, 2023

National Payroll Week was founded by the American Payroll Association (APA), National Payroll Week (NPW) celebrates the partnership between America’s employees, the payroll professionals who pay them, and the critical government programs and agencies that our payroll system funds.  Together through the payroll withholding system, payroll professionals collect, contribute, and report 70% of the U.S. Treasury’s annual revenue.  Watch the APA’s payroll documentary video.  Take the Getting Paid in America survey and you will be entered into a contest to win a vacation and a free paycheck!

Money Matters National Education Day

Volunteer to educate the upcoming generations of employees on paycheck basics.  You will teach them how to read their paycheck stub, important information about the payroll withholding system, how paychecks are calculated, the pros and cons of various payment methods, and more. Anyone can be a volunteer to teach paycheck basics, using the easy to follow MMNED curriculum and resources.  Stay tuned for more volunteer activities in our local area, both virtually and in person.  You may earn you 1 recertification credit for your participation.
