National Payroll Week 2025: A Celebration of Contributions and Opportunities

From September 1-5, 2025, PayrollOrg (PAYO) will observe National Payroll Week (NPW), an annual event dedicated to honoring the incredible contributions of America's workforce and the payroll professionals who ensure that employees are paid accurately and promptly. This year’s celebration includes a variety of offerings aimed at enhancing the knowledge and resources available to workers.

National Payroll Week highlights the essential role payroll professionals play in collecting and contributing more than two-thirds of the U.S. Treasury's annual revenue, which supports critical services including military operations, infrastructure projects, and various public programs. Dan Maddux, the executive director of PAYO, emphasizes the significance of this connection, stating, "Together they collect and contribute 66% of U.S. Treasury's annual revenue—funding our military, infrastructure, and essential programs. Truly, America works because we're working for America."

A primary focus during NPW is to educate employees and those entering the workforce about the intricacies of their paychecks. Through its Money Matters program, PAYO has successfully reached thousands of young adults each year, promoting financial literacy and paycheck fundamentals. In collaboration with Chime Workplace, this year the organization will also grant three scholarships aimed at students pursuing further education in colleges and universities.

Understanding paycheck mechanics is vital for anyone building a strong financial future. "Grasping how a paycheck operates is one of the first steps toward establishing a firm economic foundation," says Maddux. The Money Matters program not only provides real insights but also fosters a sense of confidence among young adults regarding financial management and future planning.

The festivities of National Payroll Week extend beyond education. This year, workers across the nation will have a chance to win exciting prizes. By participating in the 2025 "Getting Paid In America" survey, accessible at nationalpayrollweek.com, individuals can contribute to valuable research on payroll trends and also enter a draw for a grand prize, which includes a bonus paycheck along with funds for groceries and gas.
