A person would have to be totally insane ...... to go to McDonalds in this day and age!
Pay me a lunch time that way I trust the company for half the day and they trust me for the other half. Seems only fair.
Why not hourly, so they can quit after they get enough to buy a six-pack.
So they pay them 35 bucks to spend at Mickey D’s and some left over for crack? Wow, life is good huh?
I certainly don’t know this employment demographic but I would think this might just encourage people to quit without notice mid-week, especially if the job market is reasonably tight and they can get other fast food jobs easily when desired. Put some quick cash in their hands and temptation may overwhelm work ethic more and more often.
Bad idea. I, for one, need the discipline of waiting at least a week before I get paid, unless we are talking about second jobs here. I’m not a good saver. I admit it.
Millennials would not have liked our monthly paychecks at all. They’d have had to practice patience as well as budgeting over 4 weeks.
Another ad for Instant Financial disguised as a newspaper article.
“Millennials” do not want to live paycheck to paycheck, but they understand instant gratification.
Fault of their parents and colleges that allows them to live their lives broke and poor, never learning the discipline that comes from a budget.
Yeah, like having to pay for transportation to/from work is something new...
Author glosses over the obvious fact that these millenials lack the basic skills needed to run their lives. “Real time”, my arse.
In Germany people get paid monthly. Which is nice when you can go buy a lot of stuff.
More flexibility? Hogwash. They know the lower wage people are constantly broke, so they figured if they kick them a few bucks each day they might come back...Sad.
Sounds more like they are trying to appeal to drug addicts.
Give it to them for a short while then take it away... and watch the spoiled ingrates implode.
This is the way we ease govt into accepting a national sales tax and eliminating income tax.
Dear Government Overlords, how about you get your money instantly when I buy a Mcburger? Prerty good right?
Not such a big deal to me, though interesting. They are competing for workers with the likes of Uber and Lyft for worker hours.
Goes back to a time when many American workers were in this sense day laborers—rather than just illegals.
This is bad for personal finances. Maybe it moves people away from credit cards, but can they pay the rent at the end of the month?
Gee, daily pay. That’s not fair! If you are paid an hourly wage, why not pay it hourly? </sarc>
The logistics of this for HR/Payroll would be a nightmare - calculating and printing checks on a daily basis. For mom-and-pop businesses it might be OK, but large corporations with centralized Payroll... shudder.
Perhaps those with problems should analyze their operating philosophy and bump it against those who don't seem to suffer the same problems.
