National Payroll Week Kicks Off September 1!

As a vital part of the university’s operations, Payroll Services plays a key role in supporting the processes that ensure faculty and staff are paid accurately and on time. That’s why National Payroll Week is a celebration we can all get behind!

Founded in 1996 by the American Payroll Association (now payroll.org), National Payroll Week aligns with Labor Day and honors the essential work of payroll professionals across the country.

Let’s celebrate that satisfying “just got paid” moment and recognize the incredible efforts behind it!

Payroll professionals help connect employees, employers (in our case, the university), and government programs like Social Security, Medicare, and child support. Through payroll withholding, they help generate 70% of the annual revenue for the U.S. Treasury—a truly impressive contribution!
