It’s not enough to just get paid. For us to make the most informed decisions, we have to understand what makes up our pay on a deeper level. You’ve probably heard of “financial literacy,” or our ability to effectively manage money. But boosting it requires another crucial piece: pay literacy.

Through pay literacy, we have a chance to understand every component of our compensation — from earnings and deductions to taxes and benefits. In this episode of the HR Break Room® podcast, you’ll hear how it’s more than just understanding the difference between net and gross pay. It’s about access, management and knowledge.

·      the value of financial literacy

·      what pay literacy means and why it matters

·      how employers benefit from greater pay literacy
