Workday Inc., a leading AI-driven platform for managing people, money, and agents, has announced a strategic partnership with DailyPay, the U.S. leader in on-demand pay solutions. Under the agreement, DailyPay becomes Workday’s exclusive Strategic Partner for On-Demand Pay in the United States and Canada, enabling millions of employees to access their wages in real time.
The two companies have worked together since 2023, with DailyPay’s platform already integrated into Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) and Workday Payroll. The expanded collaboration now offers a more seamless experience, empowering workers—particularly frontline and hourly employees—to access earned wages on their own schedules, reducing financial stress and enhancing overall job satisfaction.
“The employee experience goes far beyond perks and benefits—it’s about supporting employees’ total well-being—and their financial health is a critical part of that,” said Matthew Brandt, senior vice president, global partners, Workday. “By giving employees access to their earned wages on their own terms, this partnership is helping to remove a major source of stress—and empowering a workforce that’s more resilient, engaged, and productive.”

The need for flexible pay options is clear. Studies show more than half of U.S. workers live paycheck to paycheck, and turnover costs employers roughly a trillion dollars annually. Workday and DailyPay aim to address these challenges by giving employees greater control over their earnings while providing employers with a competitive edge in recruitment and retention.
Stacy Greiner, CEO of DailyPay, emphasized the broader vision: “We are honored to strengthen our partnership with Workday and become their Strategic Partner for On-Demand Pay. Our business goes beyond the workplaces we touch—we are reshaping how an entire generation of employers and employees interact. Through this expanded partnership, DailyPay will be able to serve more businesses focused on their employee’s financial well-being and reach tens of millions of workers who will benefit from the power to access their money on their time.”
With this move, Workday and DailyPay aim to redefine workplace financial wellness, offering a tangible solution to improve both employee satisfaction and business outcomes.
