The punctuation is Incorrect

Explanation:

According to grammar rules, when two clauses or sentences are connected by a linking word or transition such as however, for instance, as a result, or likewise, it is necessary to add a semicolon (;) at the end of the first sentence, then the linking word and finally a comma right after the linking word. For example "There are many endangered animals; for instance, the elephant, tiger, orangutan".

This implies in the sentence presented, the punctuation is incorrect because after the word "satisfaction" that is the end of the first sentence there should be a semicolon rather than a comma, therefore the correct punctuation is "Hard work gives a person a sense of satisfaction; likewise, it helps to pay the bills".
