From September 2-6, PayrollOrg chapters, organizations, and individuals will come together to celebrate that joyful “We Just Got Paid” feeling as part of National Payroll Week® (NPW).

During NPW, PayrollOrg celebrates payday and honors the hard work and dedication of America’s workers and the payroll professionals who ensure paychecks are accurate and on time, every time. The NPW website has a new look for 2024 so be sure to check it out!

Here are just a few ways you can make the most out of NPW this year:

  1. Participate in the "Getting Paid In America" Survey. One of the features of NPW is the "Getting Paid In America" survey. Not only does the survey provide great information to place payroll-related topics in the news, but it also helps influence the future of payroll by measuring public opinion on a variety of payroll topics. Best of all, participants are automatically entered to win the survey grand prize! The survey closes on September 6.

  2. Become an NPW Supporter. Show your commitment to recognizing the importance of payroll by signing up your organization as an official NPW Supporter. As an NPW Supporter, your organization will receive a thank you package that includes NPW-branded merchandise and an official NPW poster.

  3. Plan Staff Celebrations. Use NPW as an opportunity to celebrate your payroll team and educate employees on how to make smarter choices about their paychecks. Consider organizing a staff lunch, a “Paychecks 101” workshop for your company, or fun activities throughout the week. Whether it’s a team lunch, happy hour, or a small token of appreciation, these gestures go a long way in boosting morale and spreading the NPW message.

  4. Give Back to Your Community. Many payroll professionals give back to their communities throughout NPW. Whether it's participating in a food drive, organizing a fundraising event, volunteering at a local organization, or teaching a Money Matters lesson, these activities not only benefit those in need but also strengthen bonds within your team and community.

  5. Promote on Social Media. Spread the news about NPW online. Use social media to get the word out about NPW, promote the “Getting Paid In America” survey, and share how your organization is participating. Use #PayrollWeek to join the conversation and connect with others celebrating across the country. Share photos, videos, and stories highlighting your staff celebrations, community involvement, and support for payroll professionals.

These are just a few ideas of ways you can get involved with NPW. Let’s come together to celebrate that “We Just Got Paid” feeling and to recognize the hard work and dedication of payroll professionals nationwide.
