Your available balance is up to 50% of your "gross pay" for the hours that you have worked, and not yet been paid for.
Why isn't it 100%?
We want to make sure you have a safe payday. We hold back a portion of your earnings to cover:
- Taxes: Federal, State, and Social Security.
- Benefits: Your health insurance or 401k.
- Safety: To ensure you have enough left to repay any transfers you made during the week.
What increases my balance?
- 🕙 Hourly Workers: If you are hourly, your balance updates as your manager approves your shifts.
- 📆 Salaried Workers: If you are salaried, your balance grows daily as a proportion of your annual base salary.
Why might my balance decrease?
- A few days before payday, your employer "locks" your previous pay period to calculate your check.
- Since those wages are now being turned into your paycheck, they are no longer "available" to transfer.
- You will still see an available balance for any new shifts you have worked in the current pay period.
