Meet the 2025 NPW Contest Champions! Plus, Enter Annual Chapter Contests

National Payroll Week chapter contests were created to recognize local chapters' efforts to promote and celebrate National Payroll Week (NPW). During NPW, we celebrate America's payroll professionals and the wage earners they pay, who together collect, report, and deposit 70% of the annual revenue of the U.S. Treasury.

Thank you to everyone who helped make 2025 National Payroll Week a tremendous success!

Contest participants were eligible for exciting prizes, including free registration to Payroll Congress. Check out the winners below for the 2025 NPW Contests!
