How to Introduce NPW Celebrations at Your Office
Hosting a NPW celebration at your office is simple.

Week is important, not only to those in your payroll department,
but to everyone in the company.

that your company can get free publicity
for celebrating!

NPW. Attach this specially
prepared memo to a copy of the special section and forward
to your company's executives.
Plan Your
Office Celebration
Need help putting
your celebration together? Here are a few creative ways to
educate coworkers about their paychecks, the payroll withholding
system and the workings of your department:
- Encourage your fellow employees to participate in the
"Getting Paid In America" online survey. Add
one of these messages to your letterhead,
paystubs or e-mail signature.
