Shreveport, LA, July 8, 2021 – Automatic Payroll Systems, Inc. (APS), a provider of best-in-class payroll and HR technology, has announced a strategic partnership with Immediate to provide employees with financial wellness benefits like earned wage access (EWA).
The Immediate solution provides employees with on-demand access to their earned but not yet paid wages through integrations with APS’ payroll technology. Based in Birmingham, Alabama, Immediate provides employers with a solution to offer their employees a better workforce experience.
“Our goal is to improve financial wellness for employees by providing faster and easier access to their hard-earned wages. Earned wage access is an essential part of employment for much of the workforce in several key sectors. Through our partnership with APS, we can provide our key financial services to employees in the education, healthcare, hospitality, food service, and non-profit industries,” said Lindsey Seal, Vice President of Partnerships.
Last year, 86% of U.S. workers experienced unexpected expenses:
- 42% of these employees turned to credit cards
- 25% used high-interest loans
- 20% overdrafts their accounts
Employees need a safety net that allows them to gain more financial independence and eliminate cycles of debt. The partnership provides turnkey solutions that support and engage employees on an ongoing and recurring basis.
The benefits of using Immediate financial wellness solutions include:
- Recruit – Differentiate in the job market by offering on-demand pay
- Retain – Improve job satisfaction and reduce turnover with financial wellness tools
- Evolve – Offer employee pay in real-time, on-demand or off-cycle

The decision to partner with Immediate will allow us to streamline our solutions further and provide earned wage access to members of the workforce,” said Aaron Johnson, President and CEO of APS.
