Hiring, retention, and engagement have never been more difficult—especially in industries like healthcare, hospitality, and hourly staffing. But what if there was one benefit that addressed all three?

Same-day pay (also known as earned wage access) is a simple, powerful solution that gives employees instant access to their already-earned wages. Here are five reasons why more employers are adopting it.

1. Employees Want It

88% of employees say they’d stay longer at a job that offers on-demand pay.* It’s one of the most desired non-traditional benefits—especially for hourly and shift-based workers who often face financial gaps between paychecks.

Offering Keeper means your team gets real-time financial flexibility without needing loans, credit cards, or payday advances.

2. It Helps You Hire Faster

In a tight labor market, any edge matters. Job posts that advertise same-day pay fill roles up to 2x faster.* That’s especially true in home health, caregiving, and hospitality—where candidates often compare multiple offers.

When same-day pay is part of your package, it signals that you’re an employer who understands and supports your workforce.

3. It Reduces Turnover

Financial stress is a top driver of absenteeism and attrition. By giving employees more control over their cash flow, you reduce stress—and reduce churn.

On average, Keeper partners see a 25%+ reduction in turnover within the first 90 days of implementation.

4. It Costs You Nothing

That’s right. Keeper is 100% free for employers. There’s no payroll change, no setup fee, and no added administrative burden.

Employees only pay a small fee for instant disbursements (and we offer no-fee options, too). You offer a powerful benefit—without lifting a finger or spending a dollar.

5. It Improves Financial Wellness

When employees feel financially stable, they show up more consistently, stay longer, and perform better.

With Keeper, workers use their earned wages for groceries, gas, bills, and more—without waiting for payday. That kind of real-time relief creates real loyalty.
