BambooHR builds on its employee financial wellness program by announcing BambooHR On-Demand Pay, a new earned wage access offering powered by Clair. This rebranded integrated feature gives eligible employees early access to a percentage of their earned wages through the BambooHR platform. The new provision comes at a time when employers are under ever growing pressure to support workers experiencing the cost of living rises and the uncertainty of the current climate.
Almost half of workers are reporting that they are finding it more difficult to manage day to day expenses and this is confirmed in the BambooHR’s 2025 Compensation Trends Report. Unlike an outside third party program, BambooHR On-Demand Pay is seamlessly integrated into your BambooHR Payroll system and BambooHR mobile app without requiring a third-party program or manual HR intervention.
Employees can sign up in seconds and access earned wages without interest, credit reviews, or late fees. Repayment is handled automatically through Clair using the employee’s linked bank account.

“An employee’s financial life doesn’t stop between paychecks,” said Brian Crofts, Chief Product Officer at BambooHR. “We are solving a primary pain point for employees while giving employers a powerful tool for retention and satisfaction—all within one unifying platform.”
The solution is offered at no cost to BambooHR customers and does not require employers to manage additional payroll processes or fund wage advances. Workers can choose between standard transfers that arrive within one to three business days at no charge or instant transfers for a small fee.
Nico Simko, CEO and Co-Founder of Clair, said the partnership is designed to modernize payroll flexibility while minimizing complexity for businesses. “BambooHR has built one of the most trusted HR platforms for growing businesses,” he said. “By embedding Clair directly into BambooHR, we’re helping employers offer meaningful financial flexibility to their teams—without added complexity. Together, we’re modernizing the way people get paid.”
The launch reflects a broader shift in HR technology, where financial wellness tools are increasingly becoming part of the overall employee experience strategy.
