The Architects of the New Paycheque
If you look under the bonnet of this shift, three names stand out.
Automatic Data Processing (ADP) is the absolute behemoth of the space. Moving a massive workforce to a weekly pay cycle requires robust, scalable plumbing. That is exactly what ADP provides.
Then you have Workday (WDAY). They operate at the sophisticated end of the spectrum, allowing large employers to map out entirely new, complex pay frameworks. As retail pay becomes more nuanced, Workday transforms from a corporate luxury into a critical utility.
Finally, we have PayPal (PYPL). While you might think of them merely as a consumer checkout button, their digital wallet infrastructure is perfectly positioned to handle the instant, frictionless movement of digital tips directly to workers.
