The Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors has designated September 7–11, 2026, as National Payroll Week, recognizing the professionals whose work helps ensure more than 500 county employees are paid accurately and on time.
The board approved the proclamation during its September 8 meeting, highlighting the knowledge, attention to detail and coordination required to administer payroll while complying with federal, state and local laws and regulations.
Payroll professionals are responsible for much more than issuing paychecks. Their work includes the accurate and timely processing of wages, benefits, taxes and other deductions, helping support the financial well-being of employees and their families.
Administering payroll across Pottawattamie County also requires collaboration among payroll staff and administrators in multiple county offices and departments. During the meeting, Auditor Mary Ann Hanusa emphasized the teamwork required to keep track of payroll information and thanked those involved for their hard work and diligence.
“Payroll professionals serve as an important connection between employees and employers and work diligently behind the scenes to support the effective operation of organizations and public services,” the proclamation states.
This year’s National Payroll Week theme, “Every Paycheck Creates Possibility,” recognizes the role each paycheck plays in helping employees meet daily needs, plan for the future and pursue personal and financial goals.
Through the proclamation, the board extended its appreciation to the payroll professionals who work throughout the year to ensure county employees are paid accurately, timely and in accordance with applicable laws and policies.
