NEW YORK — YAI – a New York-based organization dedicated to providing innovative services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD)–has partnered with DailyPay, the leading provider of on-demand pay. Through the partnership, YAI is among the first I/DD employers to implement DailyPay for its frontline, direct-care employees.

With operations in New York, New Jersey, and California, YAI is committed to providing employees with a superior employment experience, including maximized workplace flexibility. With more than 300 program locations and flexible schedules including full-time, part-time, and per diem work, the implementation of DailyPay was a natural fit. By offering DailyPay to employees, YAI can enhance its competitive position in the workforce as it looks to increase its hiring and retention efforts as the workplace of choice in the I/DD field.

“We are thrilled to work with DailyPay to give greater financial flexibility to our frontline workforce,” said Anthony Ottrando, Chief Human Resources Officer at YAI. “We are committed to finding new ways to acknowledge our employees’ value to the people we support and our broader community.”

With DailyPay, YAI employees have access to their pay as they earn it, allowing them to spend and save on their own schedules. DailyPay research found that 67% of employees who use DailyPay reported they feel less financial stress. Since launching DailyPay in September 2022, nearly 40% of eligible YAI employees have enrolled in DailyPay, indicating its popularity among the workforce.
