 Many people in our region these days live paycheck to paycheck. As the price of items and services continues to rise, the minimum wage as plateaued has $7.25 since 2010. To help their employees when they're in dire need, DoubleQuick has implemented a new daily pay program as part of their workers benefits package. I spoke to their HR director and an employee who is currently using daily pay on what the program is and the benefits and impact it has made in the workplace so far. We're an employee-first company. We don't exist without our employees. So we're very, very excited to offer this great benefit to them and those that do face financial hardship prior to the pay period, they now have the ability to access their pay immediately when they need it. Basically they have the ability to take pay out the same day. So if they work on a Monday, on Tuesday they have access to those funds and they can have those sent straight to a debit card or pay card and also they can have that sent directly to their checking account via a small fee, basically the same type of fee as an ATM. So we employ about 800 employees throughout Eastern Kentucky and some in Southwest Virginia. So far about 40% of our employees have enrolled in daily pay and the majority of those have already taken two transactions. So it has been very, very successful in the first few weeks that we've implemented this program. Being able to access funds in advance is going to be a huge benefit for our employees and we're very excited to roll this out to them. Well it come in handy when I had to pay my power bill and I was a little bit short of it. So I let it build up for a couple days and was able to pay my power bill in that way, you know, where it's winter time my kids didn't have to be cold. Yeah if there's ever like an emergency or anything I always have a way to get my money. That's if I ever have to leave out of town or anything because all my family, none of my family lives around here so I can always just pull that money and go to do what I need to do with it. It does because it makes feel like they care about us more because it helps us out every day. You know a lot of jobs won't help you out and sometimes you know there's always that period between pays when you just don't have the money. So basically the process for sign up is really easy. You can text the number. It's basically a six digit number. They can use their cell phones to sign up that way. They can also sign up online via dailypay.com. Super easy process takes you about a minute to enroll and it's pretty painless and seamless. It does. It makes it better because I know my kids never have to go without because like I said if I'm short a little bit one day then I can always just go pull the money go get them whether it be food or just whatever they need.
