Celebrating Global Payroll Week 2026

From April 27 to May 1, 2026, PayrollOrg (formerly known as the American Payroll Association and Global Payroll Management Institute) will host the ninth annual Global Payroll Week (GPW), a week dedicated to recognizing the essential contributions of payroll professionals around the globe.

The Role of Payroll Professionals
Payroll professionals are crucial to any organization, ensuring that employees are paid accurately, legally, and on time. They combine precision with flexibility, seamlessly adapting to global best practices while supporting the needs of diverse organizations. Dan Maddux, Executive Director of PayrollOrg, emphasizes that "global payroll professionals combine precision with adaptability to support people and organizations around the world."

Educational Offerings
Global Payroll Week will feature an array of educational opportunities. Participants can expect two complimentary webinars that will delve into current industry best practices, as well as a LinkedIn Live event hosted by experts from the global payroll community. These insights will be invaluable in navigating the increasingly complex payroll landscape.

To further enhance professional development, PayrollOrg will send out carefully curated emails filled with exclusive resources focused on trending topics within the industry. These resources will be aimed at supporting ongoing learning, ensuring professionals are kept up-to-date with the latest developments.

Furthermore, one of the highlights of Global Payroll Week is the unveiling of the results from the "Getting the World Paid" survey, which collects vital insights on various payroll practices and trends around the globe.

Global Payroll Titan Award
The week will culminate on May 1 with the announcement of the annual Global Payroll Titan Award. This prestigious award is given to an outstanding individual in the payroll profession who exhibits exceptional skills in managing multi-country payroll operations. It's an opportunity to spotlight the hard work and dedication of payroll professionals who make a significant difference in global business operations.
