Pay On-Demand dashboard
Once you’ve successfully enrolled and signed the Terms and Conditions you can see the Pay On-Demand (POD) dashboard. The dashboard shows your enrollment status, total unpaid wages, the available amount to withdraw, and past transactions.
Transactions
Past POD transactions show the date, amount requested, fee paid, deposit account, and status.
The Status column shows Approved, Canceled, and Paid transactions.
Available wages and limits
With Pay On-Demand (POD) you can request a payout of your earned wages at any point throughout the pay period. You can access earned wages as soon as the hours you worked post to your timecard.
So if you work Monday, you can submit a POD request either that same day after clocking out or the following day.
It's important to note that POD transactions can be initiated for the prior pay period right up until the payroll for that period is processed. For instance, for the pay period spanning from Sunday through Saturday, you can access your available wages up until the moment the payroll is processed is typically the following Wednesday.
As an example, you have until the payroll is processed on 10/11 (for a check date of 10/13) to access your available wages for the pay period between 10/1 and 10/7.
You can tap into your earnings, accessing either half of your earned wages or a maximum of $1,000. Each POD transaction is capped at $200. You have the flexibility to submit multiple POD requests until your available wage limit reaches $0.
