June 2024 Meeting Minutes and Handouts

Call to Order – Chad Willis, Vice-Chair

Earned Wage Access with DailyPay – Madeline Davila Adams, Director, Payroll and Tax Compliance Office

The Payroll and Tax Compliance Office is thrilled to announce a brand-new partnership with DailyPay that promises to redefine your payroll experience. We're bringing you Earned Wage Access (EWA), a service designed to empower you with more control over your finances.  Frequently Asked Questions - DailyPay | DailyPay

Staff feedback was the driving force for this change. Your concerns have been heard, loud and clear, and Earned Wage Access is our answer to:

  1. Multiple direct deposit banks. You’ll be able to manage multiple direct deposit accounts with ease.
  2. Options for employees without bank accounts. Whether you have a bank account or not, this is for everyone. DailyPay offers a VISA debit card that you can use everywhere Visa debit cards are accepted.
  3. Flexibility. You’ll have the option to withdraw your earnings when you need them, no waiting for payday.

This is NOT a paycheck advance; it is access to already-earned wages. Here's a brief overview of how the Earned Wage Access (EWA) service works:

1. Enrollment: Employees sign up through DailyPay’s platform, via an app or a website.

2. Earnings Tracking: The service syncs with our payroll system to track how much you've earned.

3. Access Funds: You can access a portion of the earned wages (or the net) before the official payday.

4. Transfer Options: Choose to transfer the funds to a bank account or a prepaid card.

5. Instant Payment: Depending on the service, you may receive the funds instantly or within the same day.

6. Small Fee: There's usually a small fee for each transfer.

The exact details and features will be based on the final agreement between TXST and DailyPay. More specific instructions will be provided once the service is officially launched. 

We're finalizing the details with the Purchasing Office and our SAP Enterprise team to ensure that this benefit is ready for you by the upcoming Fall semester. The Payroll and Tax Compliance Office will announce more updates as we approach the implementation phase when DailyPay will offer training & workshops. In the meantime, you can access the DailyPay webpage or view their YouTube videos. Stay tuned for updates on the official rollout and detailed guidance on using the new Earned Wage Access benefit.

Attendee questions:

  • Q: Is this required or optional?
    A: Optional, sign up through DailyPay.
  • Q: Is every employee eligible to use this DailyPay including students, staff, faculty? 
    A:Every employee in the payroll system. 
  • Q: Do you have any idea what the fee per transaction is? Is it a percentage of what gets withdrawn?
    A: $2.99 for immediate transfer, if connected to bank account no fee for same day transfer.
