Coborn’s Inc. (Coborn’s), a leading independent grocer in the Midwest, announced its partnership with DailyPay, the leading provider of on-demand pay. Coborn’s employees now have access to their pay as they earn it and are able to pay bills, spend, save, or invest on their own schedule.
Coborn’s is among the latest grocer to implement on-demand pay benefits, as one in eight grocery workers in America have access to DailyPay, according to DailyPay research.
Companies leveraging DailyPay as part of a financial wellness benefits package are able to hire up to 52% faster and retain employees 73% longer, according to a study commissioned by DailyPay. The benefit has become sought-after because, with the power of choice and control over their pay, employees are able to avoid payday loans or paying overdraft fees to make ends meet.
