Early Wage Flow: what your workers see

Early Wage Flow is the screen your workers use when they take part of their earned pay early. It is a short application: a welcome screen, a few details, a bank connection and a confirmation.

You'll find it under Products > Early Wage Flow. It appears when Capital is on for your account. For how the programme works day to day, see Early Wage Access.

Open the preview

Open Early Wage Flow

The five screens

Intro

"Get an advance on your earnings - in minutes." It says the application takes about 2 minutes and won't affect the worker's credit score. Two steps follow: connect your bank, then get your money the next business day. Two chips read No credit impact and 2 minutes.

Personal information

First name, last name, email and phone number. The worker only sees this screen when their details are incomplete.

Personal address

Home address. Like the screen before it, it is only shown when the address is missing.

Bank connection

"Where should we send your funds?" The worker selects Connect my bank to link their account through a secure window. Workers who can't connect a bank can use Enter details manually to type their banking details.

Submitted

"We'll take it from here." It confirms the email address Slate will write to and lists what happens next.

What is different about this flow

• It is for workers only. They are individual people, not businesses.
• The fee is a flat service fee, and there is no credit impact.
• The page says terms adjustment and ID verification are skipped for these advances.
• Repayment comes out of the next pay run automatically. There is nothing for you to set up.

Set your brand colour

The right-hand column has one colour setting, brandColor. It colours the buttons and accents on the worker's screens.

Find brandColor

Scroll the right-hand column to Brand.

Type a colour

Type a six-digit code such as #0b6e4f, or pick a colour with the square. The buttons in the preview change at once.

1. brandColor: your brand colour.
2. Publish theme: saves your colour.

Select Publish theme

Select Publish theme. You see "Theme published". See Match Slate to your brand colours for what publishing changes.

Embed it in your product

Each advance starts on your server. Your server creates a finance request for the worker, then passes the request's ID to the component.

<slate-application-form
  env="sandbox"
  user-token="TOKEN_FROM_YOUR_SERVER"
  finance-request-id="THE_REQUEST_ID"
></slate-application-form>

The worker connects a bank once. After that, the money moves the next business day.

If something goes wrong

The component doesn't open the advance I expected

Check the finance-request-id. It must be the ID that came back when your server created the request for this worker.

The page shows Capital pages I don't use

Early Wage Access appears in the menu whenever Capital is on, even if you don't offer it. The pages are empty until you do.
