Early Pay System Lures Millennial Staff
Rocky Sports Club in Rockhampton and Club Toowoomba have introduced a new system that allows workers to be paid right after a shift, rather than waiting for pay cycles in a bid to fill shifts and encourage new casuals to sign up.
Until recently Rocky Sports Club was forced to shut the bar early and reduce services such as its courtesy bus because of a lack of permanent staff and casual workers. Both Rocky and Club Toowoomba have now introduced Earned Wage Access, through supplier Paytime, which allows workers to be paid some of their wage straight after their shift is completed, rather than waiting for the usual fortnightly or monthly pay cycles.
Jack Hughes, CEO of both clubs, says nearly half of its workforce of 100 employees has already used the service in the past month and they are now finding it easier to fill shifts.
