Quotes:

“Effectively, the concept of early wage access (or earned wage access) is trying to bridge that gap. How do we get employees access to their pay as they work without having to necessarily wait for that two week cycle, while at the same time not compromising the employer cash flow?”

“Financial stress is (outside of a couple of other things) right at the top of everybody's list in terms of what impacts them and causes them the most stress. . . . Close to 90% [of employees] will say, “My stress level is lower knowing I have access to on demand pay.”
