The "Getting Paid in America" survey asked "How certain are you that your payroll withholding and the net amount of your paycheck are correct each payday?" More than 26,000 of the more than 29,000 survey participants indicated they are very confident or confident their paycheck is correct each payday, according to an APA press release.

"As an employer of more than 530,000 employees annually, Kelly Services® recognizes the importance of accuracy in employee paychecks and its impact on retention," said Kristina Drobocky, Americas product manager, finance, Kelly Services. "At Kelly, we have processes in place to ensure that all payroll options, including direct deposit and paycards, are available, easy and accurate for our diverse workforce."

"Increasingly complex and ever-changing tax laws have made calculating a paycheck an extremely difficult task," said Dan Maddux, executive director of the APA. "The overwhelming confidence of America's workers in their paychecks is a testament to the great job being done by our nation's payroll professionals."

The "Getting Paid In America" survey coincided with APA's annual public awareness campaign National Payroll Week, held annually during the week of Labor Day. More than 29,000 employees responded to the survey, providing insight into how employees are paid in America.
