PayPal Partners With Workday to Offer US Employees Early Pay

November 13, 2026 | By Semahegn Nigatu

PayPal has partnered with payroll and human resources software provider Workday to allow eligible employees of participating US employers to receive their salaries up to two days early through PayPal accounts.

The arrangement enables employees of Workday customers to set up PayPal Direct Deposit through the platform’s Enhanced Direct Deposit programme, which automatically populates their routing and account information without requiring manual entry.

The service is now available to employees at participating employers in the United States.

Once salaries are deposited into their PayPal Balance accounts, employees can use the funds to make payments, shop at merchants accepting PayPal and send money to family and friends.

PayPal also allows users to transfer part of their pay into PayPal Savings, a high-yield savings account with no fees or minimum balance, according to the company.

Eligible users can also access the PayPal Debit Mastercard, which offers five percent cash back on up to 1,000 US dollars in monthly spending within a category selected by the user.

Shanthi Sarkar, PayPal’s vice-president of debit and money management, said the partnership would give employees earlier access to their earnings through accounts they already use for payments and transfers.

Workday said the integration was designed to give employees more choice in how they receive their salaries while reducing administrative requirements for employers.

Meraj Mohammad, Workday’s senior director of strategic partnerships, said adding PayPal to its Enhanced Direct Deposit programme would provide another payment option for employees using the platform.
