In this episode I speak with CEO & Founder of Salaree, Paul Jackson who highlights the importance of workers not being charged to access their pay. This should be a service that employers pay for.

These charges can add up over the month and represent a significant overhead to workers who are often on low pay and zero hours contracts.
