Today, we’re excited to introduce a powerful new benefit for businesses and their teams: On-Demand Pay, now available directly within SocialSchedules.
We’ve partnered with Clair to bring this feature to our platform—giving employees a simple way to access a portion of their earned wages between paydays, while helping employers support their workforce without added complexity.
Why On-Demand Pay Matters
Rising costs of living are putting pressure on hourly workers and shift-based employees. When unexpected expenses come up, many are left choosing between limited options.
On-Demand Pay offers an alternative.
With this new feature, employees can access money they’ve already earned—helping them stay on top of essential expenses.
How On-Demand Pay Works
On-Demand Pay is built directly into the SocialSchedules experience, making it easy for eligible employees to get started:
- Access earned wages between paydays. Employees can advance a portion of their earnings through Clair. Over time and with consistent repayments, they may access up to $800 per pay period.
- Flexible delivery options. Advances can be deposited into a linked bank account within 1–3 business days at no cost, or transferred to a debit card instantly for a $4.99 fee. (Instant transfers typically occur in seconds, but may take up to 30 minutes.)
- Automatic repayment. Repayments are scheduled for the employee’s next payday and managed by Clair—no manual tracking required.
- No payroll disruption. Employers can continue running payroll as usual. There are no changes or adjustments required.
A Win for Employees
On-Demand Pay gives employees more control over their finances:
- Cover essential or unexpected expenses with confidence
- No interest, no credit checks, and no required fees
- Quick setup and fast access to funds
- Automatic repayment aligned with payday
It’s a simple way to help reduce financial stress and provide peace of mind between pay cycles.
A Win for Employers
Offering On-Demand Pay isn’t just beneficial for employees—it’s a smart move for businesses, too:
- No cost to offer. This is a free benefit you can provide to your team.
- Reduced administrative burden. Provide a secure alternative to internal advance requests—without added overhead.
- Support workforce stability. Helping employees manage unexpected expenses can lead to more consistent attendance and improved retention.
