What is earned wage access?
On-demand pay, also called earned wage access (EWA) or payroll on demand, is an employee compensation method that allows workers to receive some or all their wages as they earn them (as opposed to on a traditional weekly or monthly basis).
How Does On-Demand Pay Works?
In general, employees use mobile applications to access accrued wages before the end of their regular pay cycle and the amounts are transferred to a bank account, prepaid debit card, or payroll card. This process differs from payday lending because the worker has already performed the work for which he or she is being paid. (CPA PRACTICE ADVISOR)
With growing inflation and many finding themselves living paycheck to paycheck, people are looking for higher-paying jobs and non-traditional benefits. While many organizations cannot afford higher wages, they can offer creative benefits that are truly priceless. One such benefit is offering employees more timely access to their earnings, commonly known as wages-on-demand or earned wage access (EWA).
Wages-on-demand is a method of paying employees as they earn their wages. In most cases, WA is a voluntary benefit that allows the employee to decide if they want to get paid in between their traditional pay cycle. The conventional weekly or biweekly concept of payday is engrained in many workplaces. However, employers, especially those in industries that provide hourly wages or have high turnover rates, are exploring ways to pay their workers faster.
