Auris, a leading small and medium-sized business payroll and HR partner, has launched a new service that enables workers to access a portion of their paychecks before payday directly within the Auris platform.
Via an embedded integration with ZayZoon, earned wage access is now available for all Auris customers.
The tool, which requires no additional setup or administrative effort by employers, allows employees to access earned wages between pay cycles. If hours are worked, those wages are available. Repayment is handled automatically through payroll deductions during the next pay cycle.
“In the past, pay advances put employers in an uncomfortable position,” said Adam Mitchell, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Auris. “With earned wage access through ZayZoon, that burden shifts off the employer entirely, and what they get in return is a workforce that’s less stressed and more likely to stay.”
ZayZoon is fully embedded within Auris, using the same payroll data businesses already trust without requiring changes to payroll schedules, systems or processes. Employers remain in control without added complexity, while employees gain on-demand access to wages they’ve earned in a safe, secure and compliant environment.
The launch comes as financial flexibility has become increasingly important for employees. Recent research shows that 75% of workers experience financial stress related to everyday expenses such as recurring bills, groceries, rent and medicine, which can impact productivity, retention and recruitment.
Employers offering ZayZoon have reported measurable benefits, including reduced absenteeism, lower turnover and increased job applicant volume.
Earned wage access has been enabled for Auris customers at no cost, and employees can begin using the feature immediately. Employers have the option to opt out of the tool.
