Getting Paid in America Survey<\/p>\n
Take the \u201cGetting Paid in America\u201d survey on their website for a chance to win a free paycheck and $5,000 toward gas or groceries! It\u2019s a quick way to share your experience and possibly score a big reward.<\/p>\n
Money Matters Scholarship<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Gaskins also shared some great advice:<\/p>\n
Check your withholding: Make sure you’re not giving the government too much of your paycheck each month.<\/p>\n
Automate your savings: Set up direct deposit into a savings account to build your financial cushion without even thinking about it.<\/p>\n
Understand your pay stub: Especially for young workers, knowing how your paycheck is calculated can help you plan better.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
