ARE AS DEMANDED PAYCHECKS A SYSTEM IN THE FUTURE?

Share
On a former job, a few years back, when this glorious moment appeared, the
secretary in a booming voice declared that the “eagle had landed.” Then as
rapidly as possible, we all made our way to her desk to receive the Payment for
our previous month’s labor. If one gets compensated once every month, it’s a
long period between payment, so these initial few days passed a week or so of
being broke were fantastic. I even remember when I waited tables and collected
my own brown packet of cash which was waiting at the end of each pay period!

These days most of us get compensated electronically, but little else has
changed.

Many workers struggle to stretch their money from paycheck to paycheck – a
recent study revealed that over half of workers live with trouble covering their
overhead between pay periods, while nearly a third stated a surprise cost of
less than $500 could make them unable to meet other financial responsibilities.
Yet another study discovered that nearly one in three workers runs out of money,
even those earning in excess of $100,000. 12 million Americans have to use
payday loans each year, and each year $9 billion is collected in payday loan
fees. The average annual percentage interest rate (APR) for payday loans is
300%.

Based on PayActiv, in excess of $89B are paid in fees by the 90M workers living
paycheck to paycheck, that is two-thirds of the US population. Instant payroll
can each year save over $25B into workers accounts, just from reduction of
abusively high APR costs.

When need pushes creation

We are on the verge of a new working relationships that has little to do with
pandemics or changing workplaces, and a lot to do with how people desire to
receive their remuneration. Employees, not able to survive between paychecks and
tired of turning to abusive loans to fill the gap, need to receive their earned
pay as and when wanted. Over 60% of U.S. workers that have struggled monetarily
between pay periods over the last six months know their financial circumstances
would be enhanced if their employers allowed them instant access to their earned
wages, without of charge.

While a few people could think this a political issue, the fact is it is
regarding financial health. Based on SHRM, 40% of workers are not able to pay an
unforeseen cost of $400. Their report also references Gartner information that
found that less than 5% of large US companies with a majority of hourly-paid
employees use a flexible earned wage access (FEWA) solution, but it’s expected
that this will increase to 20% by 2023.

Why should an employee have to wait for days or weeks to receive pay for their
time and ability?

Improving the employee relationship
Giving employees access to their pay on demand may disrupt, maybe even,
deconstruct, the manner in which we collect pay and observe our paycheck.
Already its possibility is noticed, and, in many cases, companies use it to
differentiate their brand and bring in fresh talent. As an example, to encourage
applications for personnel, Rockaway Home Care, a New York care operation, is
promoting its flexible earning options on social media.

Others are providing on-demand pay – where workers finish a shift, they can
access their money as early as 3 a.m. the following day. Using an app, employees
can move their salary to a bank account or debit card. Walmart is yet another
case of a business that offers its employees access to their paychecks.
international payroll can access pay early, up to eight times per year, without
cost. The feedback from workers is amazing, and Walmart is anticipating more and
more adoption. Meanwhile, Lyft and Uber both offer their drivers the ability to
receive pay once they have earned a specific amount.

The metamorphosis of payroll isn’t confined to the amount of payments. Venmo,
Zelle, and other app provide flexibility and transaction services that workers
currently expect from their paycheck. They want to be able to receive their
earnings whenever they need to, not each 2 weeks or a monthly period. Most of
this demand has come from the emerging economy and Gen Z generations – who
expect to be able to access the money they have earned when they want it.

The increasing rise of employees without bank relationships
In 2018 it was calculated that more than 1.7 billion adults worldwide don’t have
access to a banking relationship. In America, a 2017 review estimated that 25%
of households are either unbanked or underbanked – 7% unbanked and 17%
underbanked. The report discovered that people who either don’t have a bank
account, or have an account, but still use financial services outside the bank
system like payday loans to make ends meet. In the UK, there are in excess of
one million people without bank relationships.

There are several consequences of having no banking history. In a few cases, it
can result in problems receiving financing or acquiring a home; it also presents
companies with specific challenges. How do you process payroll if there is no
bank relationship to transfer the money into? As a result, employers are quickly
looking for other ways to process payroll, especially for hourly paid workers.
Some are utilizing pay cards, that are loaded electronically each time an
employee receives payment. Those pay cards perform the way a debit card does,
letting owners to withdraw cash or shop online.

It’s obvious that instant pay is something that is going to be a part of the
banking wellness conversation for some time to come.
