For Families

When a young person starts their first formal job, the whole family often wants to help — but doesn't know how. Our workshops are open to family members too.

Why Families Come

Understanding the system helps everyone.

In many Paraguayan households, when a young person receives their first payslip, parents or siblings try to help interpret it — but they may not fully understand it either. The IPS contribution, the aguinaldo proration, the income tax thresholds — these are concepts that affect formal workers across generations.

Our workshops welcome family members alongside the first-time worker. When the whole household understands how the payroll system works, the family is better positioned to support the worker in asking the right questions and recognizing their rights.

This is not a financial planning session or a legal consultation. It is a practical educational workshop. Families participate as learners alongside the worker — not as advisors receiving specialized guidance.

Common Family Situations

Situations where families benefit

Parent Supporting a First-Job Child

Your child just started their first formal job and you want to help them understand what's being deducted and whether everything looks correct. Attending together means you can both ask questions and learn the same vocabulary.

Sibling Who Entered Formal Work Earlier

You've been in the formal workforce for a while but still have questions about your own payslip. Attending with a younger sibling gives both of you the opportunity to fill in gaps that were never properly explained.

Household Financial Conversations

When a household member starts contributing formally to the family income, understanding IPS benefits, vacation pay, and aguinaldo timing affects how the whole family plans. Shared knowledge leads to better conversations.

Young Adult About to Start Working

If someone in your family is about to sign their first formal employment contract, attending the workshop beforehand helps them understand what they're agreeing to and what their payslip will look like from day one.

What to Expect

How the family format works

All participants learn together

There is no separate "family track." Family members join the same workshop session as first-time workers. The content is relevant to anyone who wants to understand the Paraguayan payroll system, regardless of their relationship to the primary worker.

Bring the payslip if you have it

If the worker in your family has already received payslips, bringing one to the session makes the learning much more concrete. We work through real documents whenever possible. If not, we use a standard sample document.

We do not give personal financial advice

The workshop is educational. We explain how the system works, not what your family should do with that information. Personal financial decisions, investment choices, and dispute resolution all fall outside our scope.
