On-demand pay for Hospitality  

Financial freedom for team members from day 1

Offer your teams the pay flexibility that suits their personal circumstances with on demand pay from Access EarlyPay.

Pay on demand is a revolutionary employee benefit that enables any team member, whether front of house, kitchen staff or head office, to draw down from pay accrued and not have to wait until pay day, they could even get paid for the shift they’ve just finished. 

Increase productivity, decrease staff turnover

With everyone impacted by cost-of-living increases, an on-demand pay solution could help your team members' financial wellbeing immediately. 

Enabling staff to have instant access to money already earned reduces the need for cash advances and can help with weekly and monthly financial planning. 

This staff benefit also helps hospitality operators increase productivity, decrease staff turnover, improve morale and increase employee engagement. 

As an employer there is no impact on your payroll processes when offering on demand pay with Access EarlyPay. When team members draw down wages it’s funded by Access and collected, along with a small transaction fee paid by the employee when you run your normal payroll.

On demand pay FAQs

What is on demand pay?

On-demand pay is a service that allows team members to access a proportion of their wages at any point in the payroll cycle instead of having to wait for a weekly or monthly salary payment. This service is particularly useful for employees working in service industries such as hospitality or care where shift patterns may vary, and employees require additional flexibility around payment dates. 

On-demand pay has multiple benefits for both team members and employers: - 

  • Improved financial wellbeing as staff have more control over when and how they receive accrued earnings. 
  • On-demand wages can be withdrawn using a mobile app which shows total salary earned to date and salary available to withdraw.  
  • On-demand pay can be accessed instantly – once an amount has been selected for withdrawal it is transferred to the employees account instantly. 
  • A small transaction fee is normally applied each time an employee withdraws salary from an on-demand app. 
  • Employers benefit from improved productivity and staff engagement. 

How does it work?

Access EarlyPay integrates with your Access People for hospitality time and attendance and payroll systems. This enables all employee and pay period data to be automatically populated into the system, in real-time.

  1. Your hospitality staff draw down a percentage of their earned pay through the mobile app, and pay a clear and simple fee for using the service
  2. Access pays the money directly into the employee’s bank account, meaning it is cash neutral for operators and has no impact on your normal payroll processes
  3. When payroll is run, Access retrieves the EarlyPay drawdowns and fees, which will show under deductions on the employee’s payslip
  4. We will send an invoice and automatically collect the license fee at the end of each month

How does on demand pay support the hospitality industry?

On-demand pay can be a huge help to the hospitality industry, particularly at a time when it is increasingly challenging to attract, retain and engage team members. An on-demand pay solution helps hospitality operations in various ways: - 

  • Reduces staff churn by supporting team member financial wellbeing, it is often classed as a valuable staff benefit that can be provided by hospitality businesses. 
  • Improves productivity as team members are more motivated and engaged at work naturally their productivity improves, as does overall guest experiences. 
  • Helps fill shifts as from our customer data those using Access EarlyPay tend to work an extra 22% of shifts. 

On-demand pay can be classed as an important staff benefit and should be highlighted during any recruitment or engagement conversations.  Whilst many are struggling with rising costs, having the financial freedom to access accrued wages when they need it, instead of having to wait until weekly/bi-weekly or monthly pay date contributes to improved financial wellbeing.
