Jean Chatzky Discusses the Link Between Financial Literacy and Pay Literacy

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.

And Jean Chatzky, bestselling author and former financial editor for NBC's Today show, will be your guide! Join her and host Ariana Stark as they discuss:

• the value of financial literacy
• what pay literacy means and why it matters
• how employers benefit from greater pay literacy
