DailyPay Creates Overdraft Fund for MyPayrollHR Victims

/

Background: Earlier this week Clinton Hill, NY-based MyPayrollHR and parent company ValueWise shut down without warning, leaving more than 250,000 employees without a paycheck and about 5,000 companies without resources to cover them. While the FBI has been engaged, it’s important to note that fly-by-night payroll companies and “neo-payday” loan providers are still preying on small businesses and their employees.

Action: DailyPay, a NYC-based financial technology company that enables employers to provide compliant on-demand access to employee wages, is shocked and dismayed at the MyPayrollHR shutdown and is committing $25,000 to pay for overdraft and/or late fees for those affected employees. Any employee who has incurred a late fee or non-sufficient-funds fee as a result of their pay not being deposited into their bank accounts will be reimbursed up to $100 per employee. Any employee affected by the shutdown of MyPayrollHR is encouraged to email paythepeople@dailypay.com to find out how to securely apply for the Relief Fund.

Is a Personal Training App Worth Your Money? We Tried It—Here’s What We Learned

/

I’m not a fitness junkie. I haven’t taken a fitness class in more than four years. I don’t run. I don’t lift weights in the gym or at home. I don’t sweat it out in hot yoga. My idea of “working out” is taking my dog for a walk longer than 20 minutes.

All of that is why I was both eager and hesitant to try the new personal training platform Livekick. Founded by entrepreneur Yarden Tadmor and fitness expert Shayna Schmidt, Livekick isn’t your typical personal training app. Instead of leading you through either a live group class or letting you select pre-recorded training sequences for streaming, the easy-to-use service connects you to one-on-one sessions with a private trainer who crafts a 30-minute workout specifically for you. So, I gave it a go—and here’s what happened.

Financial Incentives, Daily Pay Identified as Key to Fighting Staffing Shortages

/

While the in-home care industry faces a number of challenges, staffing still looms largest for providers. The workforce shortage can hinder everything from business growth and compliance to patient outcomes and bottom lines — but financial incentives like daily pay could help fix the problem. 

That’s according to the results of a recent staffing survey from Home Health Care News and Axxess, who recently collaborated to examine which areas of the in-home health care business are impacted most by workforce challenges. 

The online survey polled more than 400 industry professionals and HHCN readers about how staffing shortages are affecting their business and how they’re attempting to fix the problem.

Qmerit named to list of 10 most promising supply chain management solution providers for 2019

Shelter, one of the three basic human requirements, is a market space that will never fade. With more and more development, buildings are becoming taller and larger in numbers. Although there is a lot of effort involved in their construction, the work doesn’t end there. Maintenance and repair of such structures is also an equally exhaustive task. It involves employing a large distributed labor force, purchasing required materials and a whole host of other operations. So how does one manage such tasks in an efficient and organized manner? Qmerit, an expert in supply chain management for properties, has the answer to this question.

Inception and Early days

Birthed out of ABM Industries, a Fortune 500 leader in facility solutions with over 120,000 employees, Qmerit already had a fair amount of exposure to the industry even before it commenced operations. The platform was originally envisioned by Tracy K. Price to help ABM bring order to the chaos of managing a liquid workforce consisting of internal, subcontract and contingent labor resources that service and maintain buildings. With the experience gained from building Mesa Energy Systems, FieldCentrix, and The Linc Group, Mr. Price set out to solve the perennial problem of sourcing qualified, skilled labor resources in the building trades.
