New Mobile Apps Instant Pay Remake Payday

An increasing number of companies are using instant payroll applications, which allow workers to draw on their income daily rather than waiting for a paycheck every two weeks.

Employees can use these apps to access half the salary they earn in a day to cover unforeseen expenses and avoid expensive payday loans. Payroll is typically downloaded to debit cards, with taxes deducted when employees receive a final paycheck every two weeks or every week. Employers see the app as a way to attract and keep employees in high turnover positions.

Instant financial, an instant payment app provider, charges organizations $ 1 per employee per month to use its service. Other vendors have a model that charges workers for using the pay option.

“Most employees don’t get their wages every day, but take only small amounts of earned income for invisible expenses.”

Average withdrawal of only $ 27

“We are seeing a lot of interest in instant payment applications in companies with a large hourly workforce, where employees live paycheck to paycheck and unforeseen expenses can significantly disrupt their lives,” said Ron Hanscome, vice president of research at Gartner in Minneapolis who specializes in HR technologies. “This can be a differentiator in markets where turnover is high and organizations are looking to create a more stable workforce. The ability to collect wages immediately may prevent some hourly workers from jumping off ship for competitors for a 25 or 50 cent per hour pay raise, Hanscome said.

Organizations such as Outback Steakhouse, McDonalds, Dial America, and Maids International use a version of the pay option, with some claiming it has helped reduce turnover for hourly workers. Walmart announced that it will start allowing its employees to use an app called Even access part of their salary before normal pay days.

Steve Barha, CEO of Instant Financial in Vancouver, said 200,000 employees in the hotel, restaurant, retail and other industries use the company’s instant payment service. It was launched in January 2017.

“Hourly workers often have very little leeway in their financial lives, and any minor emergency can put them in distress,” said Barha. “A new battery for a car, a small medical expense, or not paying some bills on time can put them at risk. This offers an option other than payday loans or predatory loans to meet those expenses.”

Barha said claims that instant pay encourages irresponsible spending are unfounded. He said employees use Instant’s payroll service an average of two to three times per pay period, with the average amount taken being $ 27.

“Most employees don’t get their wages every day, but only take small amounts of earned income for invisible expenses,” Barha said. Millennials and Gen Z workers appreciate having more control over how they’re paid, he added.

Hanscome said there is little evidence that the instant payout option results in more impulse spending. “Everyone should be responsible for how they use their money,” he said. “Employees who receive a paycheck every two weeks can still use their pay at a casino. It’s really no different with instant payment apps; you just get your paycheck in smaller chunks. ”

In addition to paying a per-employee fee for using the apps, organizations are taking on additional overhead with the service, Hanscome said, as instant payment platforms need to be integrated with existing payroll technologies.

A different model

Another type of instant pay model charges employees rather than employers. One of these providers is Daily salary, which charges employees $ 1.25 per transaction if they want their pay the next business day and $ 2.99 if they want to pay instantly after being earned, said Jason Lee, founder and CEO of Daily Pay, based At New York. Organizations whose employees use the service include Maids International, Dial America, and Stellar Senior Living.

Rather than only giving employees access to half of the wages they earned the day before, Daily Pay allows workers to transfer 100 percent of accrued wages. On average, those who use the service access 44% of their overall salary using the daily option, receiving the remaining 56% of the salary on their regular bi-weekly payday, Lee said.

“The benefits of the instant payout option are twofold,” Lee said. “The employee has more control over when and how they receive their compensation, allowing them to meet their urgent financial obligations. For employers, when employees receive this benefit, data shows that they tend to stay in the organization longer. way to differentiate in tight labor markets where wage growth is flat. “

Given the growing demand for the instant payout option, Hanscome said it’s likely that major payroll service providers will start offering the service within two to three years. “They will integrate an instant payment solution into their product portfolios and may be able to charge less than some point solution providers currently do,” said Hanscome. “It has the potential to become a part of traditional payroll products. “
