Deliver on-demand pay without changing your payroll processes

When payday comes, your employees receive their wages with any withdrawals and fees shown as deductions. So all you have to do is simply run payroll as you usually would and we take care of the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Earned Wage Access?

Earned Wage Access is a service that enables workers to access a designated portion of their earned wages on an on-demand basis, as opposed to having to wait 2-4 weeks for their regular payday.

It may also be referred to as Early Wage Access, On-Demand Pay, or Wage Streaming.

Simply – no.  Earned Wage Access is not a loan and is simply advancing earned wages to your employees before their regular pay day. Employees can only withdraw their ‘earned’ or accrued wages based on the number of hours they have actually worked and the wages that have been accrued.

There is no inherent risk with making Earned Wage Access available to your employees.  Offering EWA will not damage your brand or employee performance and will not impact your current business processes.  Integration to key systems is completed to ensure the entire process is fully automated.

On the up-side, by providing on-demand access to your employees’ wages, it has been proven to improve productivity, reduce turnover/absenteeism, and increase your staff morale. 

Integration is extremely easy and completed quickly. 

Our partner, Paytime, provide a SaaS platform that is easily integrated with your ERP, Payroll, and Timekeeping systems utilising an Application Programming Interface (API). It requires minimal involvement from your business.

Using Earned Wage Access from our partner Paytime does not have any tax implication as the withdrawals requested by your employees are done on a net taxes and deduction basis.

There is no cost to the employee.  Unlike other platforms that have a licence cost and a transaction charge – we keep it simple.  For less than the price of a coffee, the company provides the service to employees with no hidden charges.
