DailyPay CFO on the burgeoning trend of on-demand pay
/Persistent labor shortages are changing the employee-employer relationship, increasing the importance of benefits, salary and flexibility — a dynamic that could boost the growing on-demand pay industry, Scot Parnell, CFO of DailyPay, believes.
On-demand pay enables employees to access a portion of their wages between pay periods. That's a benefit that could help employers attract and retain employees, giving them an advantage in today's tight labor market. “The more satisfied and engaged the employees, the higher the stock value, the better the across-the-board growth," Parnell told CFO Dive.
By allowing employees to access their earnings on their own schedule and avoid resorting to predatory lenders and overdraft fees, DailyPay’semployer clients benefit from steeply improved retention rates and expedited hiring rates; two key metrics in high demand among short-staffed businesses.
