Earned Wage Access (EWA) is an employee benefit that allows salaried workers to access their earned salaries before payday. When employees are paid monthly, however, financial concern in times of crisis produces a significant drop in output. EWA ensures that employees have constant access to their hard-earned money, eliminating the need to wait to meet their financial obligations.
