What are Shift Limits?

DailyPay is connected to your employer’s timekeeping system and receives automated reports of your hours worked. We calculate the earnings made available to you based on the hours you’ve worked in each shift in the current pay period and your reported wage rate. You can find your available earnings on your Today tab and your Earnings tab. 

Your employer may work with us to set limits on how much we can make available to you in DailyPay. This is to protect your account from errors and to make sure that your shifts and earnings are calculated correctly. Your employer decides which limits to set and they can vary.

Occasionally, you might work a shift that is over an earnings limit that was set by your employer with us. If you earn an amount that is over a limit, you won’t be able to access the earnings in excess of that limit from DailyPay. Instead, we will make as much available to you as possible within your employer’s limits and our own calculations, and the rest will be included in the paycheck you’ll get on payday.

For example, if the shift limit is $200 and you work a $250 shift, $200 will be included in your available earnings, and the extra $50 in earnings will be excluded and paid out to you on pay day.
You can get detailed information about any adjustments to your earnings for the current pay period in the DailyPay app.
