National Payroll Week

Celebrate National Payroll Week

September 1 - 8, 2008

What Is National Payroll Week (NPW)?

This special week celebrates many things important to each of us who works. From the economic, cultural, and social achievements of workers, to the significance of “an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay,” National Payroll Week is a celebration on many levels.

NPW celebrates the unique partnership among America’s workers, their companies, the payroll professionals who pay them, and critical government programs such as social security, Medicare, fair labor standards, and child support. Together, through payroll withholding, they contribute and collect 71% of U.S. Treasury revenue.

Begin planning your National Payroll Week Celebrations now! Here are some ideas to get you started on how to celebrate in your office:

Decorate your office with NPW balloons and poster.
Wear NPW merchandise.
Place an article on your company intranet about payroll and NPW.
Encourage employees to participate in the "Getting Paid in America" on line survey at www.nationalpayrollweek.com
Celebrate with a NPW cake.
Take the payroll department to lunch.
