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- On-demand wages can be withdrawn using a mobile app which shows total salary earned to date and salary available to withdraw.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.
- 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
- 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
- When payroll is run, Access retrieves the EarlyPay drawdowns and fees, which will show under deductions on the employee’s payslip
- 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?

- 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.
