Today is the last day of National Volunteer Week 2018.

Each day, we have posted a celebratory message to thank and recognize our Payworks employees who take the time to contribute to our communities through their volunteer efforts. However, at Payworks, #PayItFWD is a philosophy we execute 365 days of the year.

The Payworks philosophy is to Pay It Forward - to participate in meaningful ways in the communities where our employees work, live, and raise their families. We believe that the richness and health of our community greatly enhances the quality of life for everyone. We do this by proudly supporting a wide range of local and national charities and by paying our good fortune forward through local sponsorship, employment and investment, as well as employee-initiated giving and volunteering.

Additionally, in November 2015, Payworks added a Pay It Forward Day to its list of employee benefits. Growing from Payworks' philosophy, Pay It Forward enables our staff to donate a different resource other than money - our time. Payworks employees can take one day off per calendar year to donate their time and skills to a not-for-profit charitable organization of their choice.

Stay up to day with how Payworks Pay It Forward Day is impacting the community by following our social channels - Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
