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.

Your employer works 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. They might include limits on the maximum number of dollars you can earn in each shift, for example.

Occasionally, you might legitimately 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 early in DailyPay. Instead, we will make as much available to you as possible within your employer’s limits and our own calculations, and your employer will include the rest when they work out 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 the available balance, and only the extra $50 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.
