In honor of HR Appreciation Day coming up on September 26, we’re looking back at a key part of HR history—payroll! 💼💰
This photo from the archives of the Payroll Department at Mutual of Omaha takes us back to a time before direct deposit. By 1930, a Payroll/Cashier Department was officially formed to ensure employees were paid accurately—a commitment that continues today. Fun fact- Until 1937, associates were actually paid in cash, and that same year, Social Security deductions were introduced.
As we approach HR Appreciation Day, we recognize and thank the dedicated professionals who work behind the scenes to support teams everywhere. 💙
