Frequently Asked Questions

  • How is implementation so easy?
    • As a HotSchedules customer, Fuego utilizes the Schedule and POS data connections that already exist. The time and attendance data are used to provide earned wage access to employees, there’s no cost to the business in offering Fuego as an employee benefit.
  • Will this encourage irresponsible financial employee behavior?
    • On-demand pay reduces the risk of employees entering a cycle of debt or seeking predatory payday loans or advances. On-demand pay is not a loan, it’s access to an employee’s earned wages from completed shifts before traditional payday. With flexibility to access a portion of their earned wages on their timeline, employees are less likely to engage in risky financial options, such as predatory loans to cover unexpected expenses.
  • Does this really have no impact on payroll?
    • Just like any other deduction, such as healthcare deductions, for earned wage access we simply send an adjustment file to payroll to deduct from an employees’ paycheck. For tip payout, we send you a tip payout report so you can see what’s already been paid out and adjust the employee’s pay accordingly. Employers can also divert a portion of the employee’s earned tips through payroll – thereby reducing the amount taken from the pay prior to payroll processing.
  • Who is responsible for providing the money accessed by my employees for on-demand pay?
    • The draws for earned wage access are funded by Fuego and the employer settles up with Fuego as part of payroll processing. We also fund tip payouts for you but the funds are automatically collected daily via ACH debit.
