The evolution of pay
Presented by: George Mavrantzas, Wisely by ADP
A new study from ADP Research Institute®focused on employee and employer perceptions and attitudes about traditional and emerging pay methods to address some of their biggest human capital management concerns.
In a highly competitive environment for recruiting top talent, ADP Research Institute’s study suggests that both employees and employers agree that offering alternative payment methods would provide a competitive edge. Over 60% of employees indicated that off-cycle pay options would make a difference when considering a job offer. Likewise, 73% of employers surveyed indicated they need to customize payment options to compete in the war for talent. Beyond recruitment, the study touches on emerging trends in employee retention and financial wellness, the impact of the gig economy and 1099 employees, and the evolving attitudes of Millennials and next gen workers.

paycard strategy: complying with legislation in all 50 States
Presented by: Jeff Albert, Netspend
An important part of your role as an employer is to ensure that you pay your workers promptly and accurately, and that you comply with the federal and state payroll laws that apply to your business. As an employer and a payroll business person, you want to manage your payroll system in the most efficient, cost-effective and equitable way possible. Visa explains in an Employer’s Guide to Payroll Cards how a well-designed payroll card program can benefit both the company and its employees. Are you providing your employees enough options for receiving their wages? Are the options you currently offer meeting the needs of all your workers?
