Some of those choices are extraordinary, but most of them are simple habits that add up, one step and one day at a time.

For some unknown reason, this concept has gained a lot of traction lately, but don’t be fooled. It’s not a new idea.

For as long as I can remember, I have been a fairly ambitious person. As a young child, I kept journals filled with ideas about what my future should look like. From dream jobs to where I would live, I’ve always had a good idea about what I wanted to accomplish in the years that followed. As I’ve grown older and started both a family and a career, I’ve experienced something I didn’t expect—I’m tired of chasing success.

Every vendor will tell you why their on-demand pay program is worry-free for Payroll—it’s OK because employers are cut out of the process, or it’s OK because employers are part of the process. All vendors will point to the turnover rate in certain industries, like hospitality, and say employees would stay if they had access to at least some of their pay on demand.
