Z世代(指1995年至2009年出生的一代人)所期待的工作:休閑著裝規(guī)定,辦公室允許攜帶寵物,還有按天領(lǐng)取工資。
代際動(dòng)力學(xué)中心(Center for Generational Kinetics)的最新報(bào)告稱,大多數(shù)(61%)的Z世代希望雇主提供按日付薪選擇。該中心表示,作為在日薪制時(shí)代成年的第一代人,Z世代希望盡快領(lǐng)到工資是有道理的。
按需支付薪酬經(jīng)常提供給在標(biāo)準(zhǔn)雙周付薪制度下依靠工資維持生計(jì)的員工。這種做法通常被稱為“實(shí)得工資支取”,可以幫助員工按日領(lǐng)取工資,用于及時(shí)支付貸款和賬單,避免逾期、透支費(fèi)和高額工資日貸款利息等。
這種做法可能對(duì)Z世代有所幫助。Z世代主要領(lǐng)取初級(jí)工資,而且與新冠疫情相關(guān)的經(jīng)濟(jì)困境對(duì)他們的影響最為嚴(yán)重。代際動(dòng)力學(xué)中心發(fā)現(xiàn),Z世代失業(yè)、降薪或每周可用工時(shí)減少的比例最高。雖然從新冠疫情爆發(fā)至今,情況基本恢復(fù)正常,但那段經(jīng)歷讓Z世代迫切希望避免負(fù)債或者拖欠付款。
在年輕人看來(lái),要求按日付薪并不過(guò)分。他們習(xí)慣了一切盡在掌握。
按需支付軟件公司DailyPay的首席創(chuàng)新與營(yíng)銷官珍妮·沃爾登告訴《財(cái)富》雜志,新冠疫情加快了“按需付薪”的流行,送餐、叫車、住房甚至車輛買(mǎi)賣都能夠一鍵完成。她表示,薪酬自然是下一個(gè)前沿領(lǐng)域。
她補(bǔ)充道:“對(duì)許多人來(lái)說(shuō),這是一種積極的變化,但對(duì)Z世代而言,[按需獲取事物]只是他們的成長(zhǎng)方式。關(guān)鍵不止在于他們知道什么,而在于他們期待什么。”
沃爾登稱,DailyPay的用戶數(shù)據(jù)顯示過(guò)去五年多,Z世代對(duì)按需付薪日益感興趣。她指出,既然人們可以通過(guò)Cash App或Venmo即時(shí)給朋友轉(zhuǎn)賬,為什么雇主不能在每次輪班之后實(shí)時(shí)將工資支付給員工?
但按日付薪有一個(gè)問(wèn)題。除非雇主將按需支付薪酬限制在較低金額,否則員工可能需要不斷預(yù)支薪酬,以彌補(bǔ)工資減少之后的差額。GOBankingRates對(duì)1000人所做的調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn),40%按日領(lǐng)取薪酬的美國(guó)人依靠工資維持生計(jì),34%沒(méi)有儲(chǔ)蓄。

Gen Z wants the works at work: a casual dress code, pet-friendly offices, and a paycheck every day.
The majority (61%) of Gen Zers would like their employer to provide the option for a daily wage payment, according to a recent report from the Center for Generational Kinetics (CGK). As the first generation to come of age in a time when daily paychecks are possible, per CGK, it makes sense that Gen Z would want immediate access to their wages.
On-demand pay is most often marketed to employees who find themselves living paycheck to paycheck under the standard biweekly payday. Often referred to as earned wage access, it helps workers access funds on a daily basis in order to pay off loans and bills on time and avoid late payments, overdraft fees, and high payday loan interest rates.
That might be helpful for Gen Z, who are largely subject to entry-level salaries and were hit hardest by pandemic-related economic woes. CGK finds they were the top generation to lose their job, have a pay cut, or see a reduction in hours of work available per week. While they have mostly recovered since the pandemic first struck, the experience has made them eager to stave off debt or avoid missing payments.
Daily payment isn’t a lot to ask for in the minds of young workers, who are used to having things at their fingertips.
The pandemic accelerated the rise of an “on-demand world,” Jeanniey Walden, chief innovation and marketing officer of on-demand pay software company DailyPay, tells Fortune: Food delivery, car rides, housing, and even car buying and selling can all be done at the push of a button. Pay, she says, is the natural next frontier.
“For many of us, this is a welcome evolution, but for Gen Z, [getting things on-demand] is just the way they grew up,” she adds. “It’s not only what they know, it’s what they expect.”
DailyPay’s user data has reflected Gen Z’s growing interest in on-demand pay for over five years, Walden says. If people can send money to friends instantly via Cash App or Venmo, she reasons, why can’t employers pay workers real-time after each shift?
But a daily paycheck has a catch. Unless employers cap on-demand pay at a low amount, employees may need consistent early access to their pay to make up the difference of their reduced paychecks. A 1,000-person survey conducted by GOBankingRates found that 40% of Americans who get paid every day live paycheck to paycheck, and 34% have nothing in savings at all.
“Workers that receive their wages daily tend to spend it immediately upon receipt and live on a day-to-day basis,” Salvador Gonzalez, an auditor and accountant, told Yahoo. “People that earn a daily paycheck are less likely [than workers paid biweekly] to have bank accounts, save, or build assets.”
That need not be the case for everyone. While people of all ages stand to benefit from earned wage access, young people better understand how it can help them manage cash flow and expenses, Walden says. She added that Gen Z users check their DailyPay Balance, an up-to-the-minute calculation of their earnings, much more frequently than their checking account balance.
“For them, knowledge is power,” she says. “It gives them a clear understanding of their spending power. That’s good for everyone.”
