Beacon Specialized Living, an organization dedicated to supporting people with intellectual disabilities and mental health, has partnered with DailyPay—the leading provider of on-demand pay—to offer its employees with the power of choice and control over their earned pay.   

Headquartered in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Beacon operates and maintains facilities and homes throughout Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, employing over 1,600 workers. In an effort to support its employees with a well-rounded benefits package, Beacon Specialized Living has chosen to implement DailyPay which provides its employees with a financial wellness benefit. With DailyPay, employees can access their pay as they earn it, empowering them to pay bills, save, spend and invest on their own schedule.   

“At Beacon Specialized Living, we aim to exceed our employees’ expectations by keeping our benefits competitive and offering a service that gives our employees more financial freedom. DailyPay allows them to take care of their business so they can better take care of ours,” says Angela Provost, Executive Director of Payroll at Beacon Specialized Living. “We understand that life happens, which is why we want to provide every opportunity to enable our staff to live a less stressful life.”   

Additionally, the Beacon Specialized Living team turned to DailyPay to boost hiring and retention efforts. The average tenure of employees who used DailyPay increased by 27% over non-DailyPay users. This 27% increase in tenure translates to 39 additional days on the job according to the ‘EWA report’ conducted by Mercator Advisory Group, commissioned by DailyPay in 2021.
