Retail workers are able to avoid such financially crippling fees associated with payday loans and late penalties, while amassing less credit card debt when they have access to the financial wellness benefit of DailyPay, according to new research from Arizent/Employee Benefits News.
The research follows the news of recent seasonal hiring efforts from DailyPay’s retail clients, including top employers such as Target, Dollar Tree, and Dick’s Sporting Goods
The Arizent study, commissioned by DailyPay, surveyed retail workers from around the country whose employers offer the financial benefit. With DailyPay, employees are able to access their pay as they earn it, instead of waiting for a scheduled payday. With the power of choice and control over their earned wages, they can pay bills on time and live a better financial life. The study also shows that the positive impact of DailyPay is good for retail employee morale as they are more motivated and satisfied with their job thanks to the benefit.
Among the noteworthy findings for retail employees since becoming a DailyPay user include:
- 72% use fewer payday loans
- 67% pay fewer late fees on bills
- 61% incur less credit card interest
- 71% pay less overdraft fees
