Vered Healthcare Group, a premier skilled nursing organization in Florida, was competing with staffing agencies that offered workers daily payouts. Recruiting and retaining full-time staff in this environment was a constant challenge.

The Challenge: Competing Against Agencies

Staffing agencies had the upper hand by offering immediate pay. For Vered, this created a tough hiring landscape.

  • Agencies could pay workers daily
  • Vered could not match that through traditional payroll
  • Recruiting full-time staff was increasingly difficult

The Solution: Tapcheck Earned Wage Access

Vered turned to Tapcheck to level the playing field.

“Having the ability to be able to provide that same type of daily pay, obviously not through a paycheck, but through a different portal, allowed us to convert some of these folks over to be hired on full-time with us.”

Natalia Claytor, Chief People Officer, Vered Healthcare

The organization began advertising “same-day pay” in its job postings on Indeed. This strategic move helped attract workers accustomed to the staffing agency model and gave Vered a competitive advantage.

The Results: Hiring and Retention Gains

  • $2.2 million in total transfers drawn
  • 65% of users transfer at least once per month
  • 39% higher user registration than the industry average

Soon after implementation, the Vered team found that earned wage access was more than a hiring tool. Once employees became accustomed to same-day pay, they were less likely to move to a competitor that did not offer the benefit. The peace of mind and security on-demand pay provided was important enough to keep some workers from changing jobs.

Why It Matters

On-demand pay gave Vered a competitive edge in both hiring and retention. Reflecting on the impact, Chief People Officer Natalia Claytor’s advice to other employers is simple:

“Just do it. At the end of the day, there are a lot of people that could use Tapcheck, even people making six figures. And that tells me that there's an immediate need for the benefit.”
