Why Greenix Adopted Earned Wage Access

For Greenix Pest Control’s leadership, their top priorities aren’t sales or profits — it’s their people and their customers that come first. In the words of the company’s CFO, “If we take care of the first two, the other two take care of themselves.”

But it’s difficult for employees to focus on customers and delivering great service when they’re financially stressed, as 77% of employees are. Financially stressed employees are not only more distracted at work; they’re also five times more likely to take sick days.

Because of Greenix’s people-first philosophy, they decided to offer earned wage access (EWA) to their employees. When employees have a way of handling immediate financial stress, they’re better equipped to focus on customers and solving tomorrow’s challenges instead of worrying about today’s problems.

Understanding earned wage access

EWA allows employees to access a portion of their earned wages between regularly scheduled paydays. But it’s not a loan — it’s money that employees have already earned.

This equips them to handle unexpected expenses or financial emergencies without resorting to high-interest borrowing options like payday loans, which can exacerbate financial stress by trapping employees in a cycle of debt that’s difficult to escape.

For employers, offering EWA demonstrates a tangible commitment to employee financial well-being. And for companies using OneSource Virtual (OSV) for payroll, EWA comes at no additional cost to the business.
