➕ Your available earnings on Wagestream are calculated from a percentage of your gross worked shifts, or salaried wages.
Your employer sends us your shift/salary data which automatically gets added to the app once submitted and approved. Your available balance will consider the hours you've worked up to the current moment.
Your earned wages are calculated based on your hourly rate (if you are an hourly employee) or your salary (if you are a salaried employee).
Employer-set limits are applied by default and can include a cap on what % of your earnings you can access early, the maximum amount of money you can access early and the maximum number of Streams you can make in a single pay period. This will be reflected in your balance calculation in the app.
The app typically follows your employer's pay cycle. So, if your regular payday is at the end of the month or bi-weekly, your available balance will be calculated up to the current date in that pay cycle.
If you haven't earned it, you can't access it. As you work shifts/ accrue a salary within your current pay period, those earned wages will be approved and submitted by your employer. Once they sync with us, your available balance will increase; submission and sync times vary at the discretion of your employer.
