It’s National Payroll Week, the perfect time to celebrate that joyful “I just got paid!” feeling! Brandy Gaskins with PayrollOrg joined us to share how this week is more than just a celebration, it’s a chance to get smarter about your money.
PayrollOrg works behind the scenes to ensure everyone gets paid accurately and on time. If you ever run into payroll issues, they’re a great resource. You can learn more at NationalPayrollWeek.com, where you’ll also find helpful tools and resources.
Getting Paid in America Survey
Take the “Getting Paid in America” survey on their website for a chance to win a free paycheck and $5,000 toward gas or groceries! It’s a quick way to share your experience and possibly score a big reward.
Money Matters Scholarship
PayrollOrg also supports the next generation of workers through the Money Matters Scholarship. High school juniors, seniors, and anyone pursuing higher education can submit a short written or video essay. The top entry wins a $5,000 scholarship, and two runners-up will receive $1,000 each.
Gaskins also shared some great advice:
Check your withholding: Make sure you’re not giving the government too much of your paycheck each month.
Automate your savings: Set up direct deposit into a savings account to build your financial cushion without even thinking about it.
Understand your pay stub: Especially for young workers, knowing how your paycheck is calculated can help you plan better.
So, whether you’re just starting your first job or you’re a seasoned pro, National Payroll Week is a great reminder to take control of your financial future.
