DailyPay, a worktech company and key player in on-demand pay solutions, has solidified its position as an industry professional through legislative advancements, strategic integrations, and a high-profile addition to its board of directors.
These milestones underscore DailyPay’s mission to empower employees with greater financial control while helping employers enhance workforce engagement, retention, and productivity.
By enhancing how workers access their earned wages, DailyPay continues to disrupt the traditional payroll model and address the financial wellness needs of millions of Americans living paycheck to paycheck.
On July 10, 2025, DailyPay marked a significant legislative victory with the reinstatement of its on-demand pay services in Connecticut.
The passage of Senate Bill 1396 marked Connecticut as the 12th state to regulate earned wage access (EWA), restoring access to this critical financial tool for thousands of workers.
This development followed a challenging period after a January 2024 decision limited instant EWA services in the state.
Research commissioned by DailyPay from the University of Connecticut revealed the detrimental impact of this shutdown, particularly on credit-constrained workers, many of whom are women with children.
The study found that 67% of surveyed EWA users reported a positive financial impact from the service, using it primarily for essentials like groceries (85%), transportation (63%), and housing costs (59%).
Without EWA, 36% of workers went without necessities, while others resorted to costly alternatives like credit cards (26%) or payday loans (6%).
The restoration of DailyPay’s services in Connecticut reflects growing regulatory clarity and recognition of on-demand pay as a vital tool for financial empowerment.
Further expanding its reach, DailyPay announced a strategic partnership with Würk Payroll and HR Solutions on July 8, 2025, as part of its “DailyPay Built In” initiative.
This collaboration enables Würk, a platform tailored for the cannabis industry, to integrate DailyPay’s on-demand pay solution seamlessly into its payroll and HR systems.
The partnership empowers thousands of workers, particularly in the rapidly evolving cannabis sector, to access their earned wages instantly, fostering financial flexibility without additional costs to employers.
By integrating with over 180 human capital management (HCM), payroll, and time management systems, DailyPay ensures a frictionless experience for both employers and employees.
This move aligns with DailyPay’s broader mission to create a business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) ecosystem that drives employee engagement and helps break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle.
The partnership with Würk highlights DailyPay’s commitment to supporting industries with unique regulatory and operational challenges, delivering tailored financial wellness solutions that enhance recruitment and retention.
Adding to these developments, DailyPay appointed Derek Andersen, Snap Inc.’s Chief Financial Officer, to its board of directors, effective June 27, 2025.
Stacy Greiner, DailyPay’s CEO, praised Andersen’s track record, noting that his insights will be invaluable as the company continues to modernize how employees are paid and enhance employer-employee relationships.
Research from Arizent shows that 93% of U.S. employers using DailyPay view it as a valuable benefit, with 89% recommending it to peers.
By offering employees real-time access to earned wages, DailyPay boosts productivity, engagement, and retention while providing employers with a competitive edge in talent acquisition.
With over half of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, DailyPay’s platform addresses a critical need, offering greater financial control through an intuitive app that requires no pre-existing bank account.
