DailyPay Announces Partnership with Westgate Resorts

Premier National Resort Developer Adopts Financial Benefit to Boost Employee Financial Health

NEW YORK (November 6, 2017) – DailyPay, a financial solutions company that reduces employee turnover through instant access to income, today announced a national partnership with Westgate Resorts, one of the largest resort developers in the United States and the largest privately-held timeshare company in the world. Together, DailyPay and Westgate are combating the financial burden caused by the delay that arises from weekly pay schedules. Through this partnership, Westgate employees can now receive their earned but unpaid income whenever they need it, even on weekends and holidays, a benefit proven to reduce employee turnover.

Attrition is a serious concern in the hospitality industry. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, annual employee turnover in the hotel industry is currently at 73.8%, which equates to 6% of staff departing every month. This number has increased steadily since 2013. At over $4,000 to replace a single employee, high turnover has a significant impact to a hotel’s bottom line. By partnering with DailyPay, Westgate aimed to employees’ financial stress, which is the leading reason for employee turnover. DailyPay helps employees mitigate financial hardships with access to earned pay before scheduled paydays. With access to daily income, employees can avoid late fees and overdrafts and end mounting cycles of debt.  

DailyPay offers Westgate employees immediate access to their earned but unpaid income through an intuitive, device-agnostic platform. After completing a shift, the net amount earned is added to an available balance from which employees can transfer up to 100% of net earnings and receive their money instantly. Fees for late bill pay or checking overdraft plague wage earners more than anyone. With DailyPay, Westgate employees can avoid late fees, overdraft fees, and high-interest payday loans on sudden expenses. This transparency into their net earnings also gives a clearer view of weekly earnings to hourly workers with variable income.

“At DailyPay our mission is to give workers their first steps toward financial security,” said Jason Lee, Chief Executive Offer of DailyPay. “Our new partnership with Westgate, a leader in hospitality, is exciting because it signals a major shift in how this sector gets paid and how they approach financial security for their employees to boost retention in the hospitality industry.”
