Tools that keep production running
Earned Wage Access
Give workers access to earned wages between pay cycles, so unexpected expenses don’t turn into call-outs or last-minute coverage gaps.
Off-Cycle and Termination Pay
Handle corrections and final pay quickly, reducing floor-level escalations and keeping supervisors focused on production, not payroll issues.
Payroll Card
Eliminate delays from paper checks or banking gaps, so all employees can access wages on time and stay focused on their shifts.
Discount Marketplace
Offer meaningful savings and perks that help them support their lifestyles without falling into debt traps.
Goal-Based Saving
Help workers build a buffer for emergencies, reducing the likelihood of attendance issues tied to short-term financial stress.
"As a small business we found Payactiv to be the perfect solution. It allows our employees to use funds they've already earned in cases of financial emergency without causing undue burden to us as an employer. It's simple to use for both the employee and the employer with highly attentive customer service. We'd absolutely recommend Payactiv to other employers!"
- Human Resources Executive
"We decided to use Payactiv as an alternative to giving employees in need of emergency funds a loan from company funds. We also wanted to add Payactiv to our benefits package to help attract and retain employees, and your program fit the bill."
- HR Executive
"The employees did their part — they had done the work. We felt wherever possible, we should do our part by moving up their payday for part of their salary to cover an unexpected bill. Since this is a benefit our people like, and very few of our competitors offer, our people are less likely to look for another job."
- CEO
"I don't know why any company would be hesitant in implementing Payactiv. It's a no-cost solution, and because it's integrated with our payroll software, it's seamless from a payroll perspective — you don't have to worry about updating deduction codes or anything like that."
- Brittany Schwartz, HR Generalist
"Our employees no longer have to choose between waiting for payday and paying a bill on time."
- Teri Shook, Manager, HRIS and Payroll
"We recently acquired a company that paid weekly. We do not have the resources for a weekly payroll — and Payactiv has solved the problem."

Client Spotlight
“Our employees no longer have to choose between waiting for payday and paying a bill on time.”

Reser’s Fine Foods wanted to give its predominantly hourly workforce more pay flexibility while reducing the administrative burden of payroll advances. Payactiv integrated into Reser’s existing UKG ecosystem without disrupting bi-weekly payroll or adding employer cost. The result is a benefit employees use consistently, stronger retention, and a practical solution that also helped Reser’s stabilize a newly acquired workforce without moving to weekly payroll.
