Fourth announced that its Fuego™ on-demand pay system had introduced an automatic tip payout feature. With the new feature, employees may access their tips online and take a percentage of their earned cash before payday. The payout system is perfectly integrated with HotSchedules®, the company's scheduling software.
The tip payout system helps employers decrease their reliance on cash, the expenses of cash collection, transport, and insurance, as well as security costs and the likelihood of theft or fraud.
“We are excited to expand our earned wage access offering with tip pay out,” said Clinton Anderson, CEO, Fourth. “Businesses today face unprecedented challenges attracting and retaining employees. As the only on-demand pay app fully integrated with the industry’s #1 scheduling app, HotSchedules, customers experience more than 20% employee adoption, making it the best choice for retention.”

Sectors Adopting This
