Give your team easy access to paychecks

Earned wage access pays your employees ahead of payday 

Inflation is driving up costs everywhere. More consumers in all income brackets, including those who make more than $250,000 annually, live paycheck to paycheck. PYMNTS’ research finds that 61% of U.S. consumers lived paycheck to paycheck in April 2022, up 9% from 52% in April 2021.

For decades, most employees have been paid the same way: they work, and then two weeks or a month later they receive payment. But with inflation on the rise and the desperate need for wage accessibility and financial equity, business owners can’t afford to turn a blind eye to doing their part in strengthening the financial wellness of their employees. 

Providing earned wage access is one-way business owners can help. Earned wage access is the ability for employees to have access to a portion of their already earned wages outside of the traditional pay cycle. 

Small business owners can make a difference

Whether called pay on-demand, same-day pay, earned wage access (EWA), or wages on demand, it is one of the fastest-growing employee wellness programs on the market today. And, rightly so, because Pay On-Demand isn’t just for the employee, it also helps business owners attract and retain their people and there’s no cash flow outlay from you as the employer. Fingercheck will advance the money from our balance sheet to help you help your employees.

You’ve probably seen the signs in restaurants or businesses that read, “The world is short-staffed, please be kind to those who showed up.” While worker wages continue to climb, shortages are not outpacing inflation. 

As a small business owner, how can you stay strong and stay open on Main Street while battling against the market? Pay On-Demand gives you a competitive edge to attracting and retaining employees. Think about not just advertising your job opening, but getting to advertise, “Work today, get paid today.”

Offer a modern, meaningful solution

Fingercheck’s Pay On-Demand feature is a financial wellness benefit that gives employees early access to their unpaid wages. Our Pay on Demand feature is integrated with the Fingercheck General Ledger to your accounting system–so we do the work of reconciling the debit and credit. No math is involved on your end! And, our Pay On-Demand feature has been available since 2018. We know it works.

Pay On-Demand offers a near real-time option

Did you know you can deliver paychecks to your employees through a reloadable debit PayCard that is convenient and easy to use? With Fingercheck PayCards, your employee can get the money instantly, within 10 minutes of you approving the request – 7 days a week 24 hours a day. There’s no waiting for the bank to open in order to process. 

If the employee chooses to use a bank account, they can access the funds the morning of the next business day (following your approval).

Best Practice for Pay on Demand

Industry best practice is for an employee to access up to 50% of net earnings over a pay period and up to $200 per day (these numbers can shift based on the size of the company offering the

benefit). With our integrated GL to your accounting system, we reconcile the debit and credit so you don’t have to do any math transactions deduction.

Our fees are also simple and transparent. Fingercheck funds the payroll transfer amount and sends it to the employee’s bank account or paycard. Employees can then use it to pay bills, build savings, invest money, buy goods and services, and more.
