It’s hard enough trying to figure out payroll when you have to pay your employees every couple of weeks. But what if your employees demand to be paid earlier? How about daily? Is that even a thing? Yes...it is.  

Some of these stats may surprise you or even alarm you.

These are just some of the reasons why daily pay type solutions are gaining populating. We call it the “uber effect”. Uber and Lyft drivers can get paid up to 5 times a day. And those employees are talking to their Gig-economy friends who are asking their own employers for a perk like that.

And the research and early impact studies don’t lie. 

  • Applicants are willing to take on average a 13% reduction in pay if they got paid daily. 
  • Early Access to earned wages decreases turnover by 40% and increases recruitment by 30%. (source: Dailypay.org) 
  • 8 out of 10 hourly employees say that receiving their pay before payday would help them with financial security.

And we all know, financially empowered employees are happier, more productive, and stay longer - saving you 100s of hours of recruitment and HR processing time and thousands of $.
