Definition
Next-day pay means a worker receives pay for a completed shift the next day, rather than waiting for a weekly or biweekly payday. It depends on hours being recorded and approved quickly, so accurate clock-in and clock-out matter. Taxes are still withheld as usual because the worker is a W-2 employee. Fast pay is one of the biggest reasons hourly workers choose one agency over another. Workers should never be charged a fee to apply or to get a job.
