Real-time visibility of earnings and pay
What's next is financial wellbeing at the heart of pay
Transform pay into a powerful driver of employee wellbeing, giving your people the visibility, flexibility and control they need to feel confident about their money, every day.
Financial stress is one of the biggest barriers to employee performance and engagement. Zellis removes that barrier by embedding financial wellbeing directly into payroll, helping your people manage, access, and understand their pay in real time.
The report – Financial wellbeing in the workplace – explores the scale of the challenge and what employers can do to address it.
In our latest research – Lived Experiences with Financial Wellbeing Tools – we talk to the voices behind the data to explore real financial wellbeing tool use cases.
Through a connected, AI-enabled platform, you can move beyond paying people correctly to empowering them financially, creating healthier, more resilient and more productive workforces.

What’s next is financial wellbeing built into pay
Financial wellbeing is no longer a ‘nice to have’. It is a critical driver of engagement, productivity, and retention.
Research shows:
- 77% of employees have experienced financial stress in the past year
- Over half say it reduces their productivity at work
Zellis addresses this challenge by embedding financial wellbeing directly into payroll giving employees the tools, visibility, and control they need, exactly where it matters most: at the point of pay.
Zellis Financial Wellbeing provides
Control
Flexibility over when and how employees access their money
Confidence
Trusted payroll accuracy with embedded compliance and intelligence
What’s next is helping employees do more with their pay
Introducing Boost Your Pay, a new feature designed to turn pay into a more powerful, flexible, and valuable experience for employees. 'Boost Your Pay' lets them exchange available earned pay for discounted digital gift cards from well-known everyday brands.
At its core, Boost Your Pay reflects a simple insight:
Employees don’t just want to be paid accurately, they want their pay to work harder for them.
Value it delivers:
- Greater financial flexibility across the pay cycle
- Improved cashflow management for everyday expenses
- Reduced reliance on high-cost borrowing
- Stronger engagement and trust in the employer
This builds on the broader shift towards real-time pay and continuous payroll, where employees gain transparency and confidence throughout the cycle, not just at payday.
Strategic impact for employers
Increased productivity
Improved employee retention
Stronger employer brand in a competitive talent market
What’s next is giving employees control over when they get paid

It’s simple, transparent, and designed to build healthier financial habits.
How it works
Employees access wages they’ve already earned
No loans, no interest just earlier access to their own money
Automatically reconciled in the payroll cycle
Why it matters
Helps employees bridge the gap between unexpected expenses and payday
Reduces financial stress and reliance on credit
Improves focus, wellbeing, and performance at work
Part of a broader toolkit
Through integrated financial wellbeing solutions, employees can:
