Landing your first job can be exciting—and intimidating. Between tax deductions, insurance elections and retirement plans, your first paycheck might be smaller than expected. This session breaks down what’s actually on your paystub and why your benefits matter more than you think. In this webinar, you’ll learn:

How to understand your paycheck and what’s being withheld
The difference between gross pay and net pay
How employer benefits (like 401(k), health insurance, and HSAs) factor into your total compensation
Smart questions to ask during onboarding
How to make the most of your benefits from day one

Whether you’re starting a new job or simply want to make more confident decisions, this session will help give you the clarity you need.
