The best week of the year for payroll professionals will be here before you know it. This September 5-9, join workers across America as they celebrate their paychecks and the payroll professionals who pay them during National Payroll Week® (NPW).
Download the official NPW Planning Guide for these ideas and more to help make this NPW your best yet. Be sure to visit the official NPW website to stay updated on all things NPW related.
If you are already an active member of the HR and Payroll community, there are some simple ways that you and your company can make a greater impact on financial literacy. Here are just a few ways for you to get involved with the NPW festivities:
Volunteer to Teach Your Community Teens About Their Paychecks
Promote financial literacy in your community by becoming a Money Matters National Education Day (MMNED) volunteer. On September 8, payroll professionals from across the country will come together to teach the special MMNED lesson plan “Bring Home The Gold” to area teens and educate them on paycheck basics.
All volunteers will receive a detailed lesson plan and PowerPoint presentation. Volunteers who teach MMNED lessons will also receive recognition from the APA and be eligible for 1 RCH credit.
Receive Recognition for Supporting Payroll Professionals at Work
Be recognized for your support of the payroll profession and hard-working payroll professionals. Sign your company up to be an NPW Supporter today. The NPW Supporter program is a free program that will earn companies free publicity from the APA.
Companies that are NPW Supporters agree to spread the NPW message at work through email messages on your company intranet, NPW office celebrations, and more. When companies become NPW Supporters, they will be joining the ranks of past prestigious NPW Supporters such as Starbucks, General Mills, the Kansas City Royals, and many more.
Share Your Opinions on Payroll Issues and Win Big
One of the most important elements of the NPW campaign is the annual “Getting Paid In America” survey. The survey allows the American Payroll Association (APA) to gauge American workers’ opinions on important payroll topics and trends such as direct deposit, mobile banking, and more. The survey only takes five minutes to complete and could score you the grand prize of a free Las Vegas vacation for two and an extra paycheck. The survey closes on September 9 and the winner will be randomly selected from all received survey respondents. Don’t miss your opportunity to have your opinion be heard and promoted on a national level and to earn an awesome prize.
