I’ve seen several big chains, mostly gas stations and fast food, advertising “daily pay”. If you are worried about how you’re going to make it until your next paycheck, whether it’s tomorrow or next month, or you have no savings to cover any sort of emergency, then you live paycheck-to-paycheck.

Don’t be fooled. “Daily Pay” is just a shitty attempt at avoiding paying better wages by giving you your shitty wages faster. It’s designed to benefit the company, not you.

Edit: If you don’t get to hold on to your pay check long enough to earn interest on any of it, then getting paid daily is not benefiting you.

    Well, not every job is a career. At least you don’t have to chase them for payment and you know you’re a transaction to them. Develop skills and work somewhere that values you slightly more and at least gives benefits.

      Not every job is a career, but every job that advertises daily pay is advertising a red flag for how they treat workers.
