CLEVELAND, April 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In the ongoing evolution of its cloud-based software suite to solve workforce challenges in healthcare, OnShift today announced the OnShift Wallet Visa Prepaid Card. This card is an enhancement to OnShift Wallet powered by PayActiv, a mobile app that eases employee financial stress through timely access to earned but unpaid wages. With the new card, employers gain an additional, convenient way to offer earned but unpaid wages to employees as well as a direct deposit option for earned wages to those without a bank account.
“The labor market is the most competitive it has ever been. Senior care providers are going head-to-head for talent with big box companies, major retailers and other organizations that innovate in how they hire and keep employees,” said Mark Woodka, CEO of OnShift. “The only way for providers to win the competition for talent is by offering modern, employee-centric services that accommodate the needs of today’s worker. OnShift’s financial wellness platform with the new prepaid card gives employees what they want: streamlined access to their wages and a financial safety net for when they need it most. Providers not only gain an edge by showing staff that they care, but they also succeed in attracting and retaining employees by demonstrating a commitment to financial wellness.”
Key benefits of the OnShift Wallet Visa Prepaid Card include:
- Easy Card Management: Employees can quickly and easily check their balance and manage their account through the OnShift Wallet app anytime, anywhere.
- Real-Time Access: Employees have access to their funds in real-time, which can include their standard paycheck and their earned but unpaid wages.
- Affordable and Convenient: There are no fees for enrollment or to withdraw cash at any MoneyPass ATM located throughout the United States.
OnShift Wallet powered by PayActiv gives employees financial peace of mind and financial advice with access to earned wages, between paychecks, to better manage expenses. Employees can access up to 50% of their current earnings, through a bank transfer, for a small transaction fee, helping to ease financial stress.
With OnShift Wallet, employers now have three options to pay their employees: direct deposit, bank transfer and now, the OnShift Wallet Visa Prepaid Card.
