Tapcheck: An EWA Provider of Choice and Integration Partner with Paylocity

What is Earned Wage Access, and Why is It Important?

A 2022 CNBC survey found that 70% of Americans report feeling stressed about their finances. This personal financial stress can impact productivity at work as well as general morale, so earned wage access (EWA) has emerged to help to address this.

EWA is a financial wellness concept that allows employees to access a portion of their earned wages before their scheduled payday. This empowers workers to address financial emergencies, cover unexpected expenses, and manage their cash flow more effectively. EWA solutions provide employees with greater flexibility and control over their finances, reducing reliance on high-interest payday loans and helping to alleviate financial stress.

Importance of Integrating into existing systems

Deciding to add EWA to your benefits package is an important first step, but the second step of integration is equally crucial. Businesses should review their options with their payroll providers to understand which EWA solutions will integrate easiest. Ensuring a smooth integration with the payroll provider means increased payroll accuracy, less administration effort to oversee the program, and overall employee satisfaction.

Ultimately, the EWA benefit is for the employees to use when they need it most. It’s imperative that employees feel comfortable relying upon the EWA provider for access to their wages, as well as a contact to a support team should they encounter any issues.

EWA integration with systems like Paylocity is the crucial second step for businesses considering this benefit. A seamless integration can make EWA a turnkey, high-impact benefit with minimal overhead.
