The “Getting the World Paid” survey is a critical tool that helps PAYO gauge industry trends in the rapidly evolving global payroll landscape. As a thank you for taking the survey, three participants will be randomly selected to win a free virtual course of their choosing from PAYO.
Results from the 2025 “Getting the World Paid” survey will be announced during Global Payroll Week on 1 May.
Global Payroll Week coincides with the celebration of International Workers’ Day and is a celebration of employees and labourers around the globe. Often referred to as May Day, this annual holiday, occurs on 1 May and traces its roots back to an
ancient European spring festival.
In dozens of countries, May Day is an official national holiday, but don’t let its ancient roots fool you. The day isn’t all about dancing around maypoles. Many labour rights campaigners and
trade unions use the day to heavily promote and publicize their agendas for worker’s rights across the globe.
