National Payroll Day

25 July 2025

A day to thank Payroll - it makes sense

National Payroll Day is a time to recognise the payroll professionals who ensure every Australian employee is paid correctly and on time, every pay run.

Behind the scenes, payroll teams manage complex legislation, adapt to constant change, and work hard to meet deadlines. At the Australian Payroll Association, we believe this dedication deserves to be seen, valued and celebrated.

Join the celebration

Each year, National Payroll Day recognises the incredible professionals who ensure Australia gets paid correctly and on time, the heartbeat of every organisation. Whether you’re part of a payroll team, manage one, or simply appreciate their work, here’s how you can get involved and show your support.

Show your appreciation

Payroll professionals keep every organisation running by ensuring accuracy, compliance and care in every pay cycle. Take a moment to thank the payroll experts in your team or network. A simple message, card, or coffee catch up can show how much their work matters. Payroll isn’t just about numbers; it’s about people.

Share the message

Join the conversation and help raise awareness of the payroll profession. Use #APANationalPayrollDay and tag the Australian Payroll Association on social media. Share your team celebrations, photos or stories to highlight the skill and dedication behind every pay run.

Engage your organisation

Encourage your organisation to celebrate its payroll heroes. Plan a morning tea, a team lunch or a simple thank you from leadership. Every gesture helps build appreciation across departments. Use our Promotional Toolkit for posters, banners and templates to make your celebration easy and impactful.
