A competitive benefit without the complexity: YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas’ story

The YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas needed a better way to compete for talent. Payactiv gave employees greater flexibility while keeping implementation and ongoing administration simple.

With many part-time employees—and some working multiple jobs—the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas saw financial security and flexibility in pay becoming increasingly important. Other employers were offering faster access to pay, making it more difficult for the organization to recruit. Payactiv offered another way to support employees while strengthening the YMCA’s benefits package.

Implementation took less than a month from signing the agreement to going live, with much of that time spent testing. Once launched, Payactiv added only five to ten minutes to the payroll process. The Payactiv team provided information proactively throughout implementation and remained responsive whenever questions arose.

The difference in recruiting was clear. Before implementing Payactiv, the YMCA was struggling to find employees. The following year, it saw an immediate change—and by the next summer, recruiting was no longer a problem. For the YMCA, Payactiv became a straightforward, no-cost way to support recruitment, retention and employees’ financial flexibility.
