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.

Regardless of the sales pitch, on-demand pay is a boondoggle for Payroll.

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.
