TimeForge, the award-winning AI-powered labor management software for restaurants and grocery stores, announced its new integration partnership with Rain, the on-demand pay solution that allows businesses to easily offer earned wage access to their employees at no extra cost. By partnering with Rain, TimeForge provides employers with yet another critical differentiator in today's labor market: financial freedom for employees.

Employers who offer earned wage access have a powerful advantage in workforce recruitment and retention. With Rain, employees are able to access their pay as soon as their shift ends, enabling them to tackle unexpected financial challenges and enjoy greater peace of mind.

The partnership between TimeForge and Rain marks both companies' commitment to putting people first by supporting the financial wellness of employees, while helping employers overcome current labor market challenges.

"We chose Rain to partner with because they prioritize employee wellness and financial freedom," said Audrey Hogan, Chief Operating Officer of TimeForge. "Rain empowers employees with instant access to wages they've earned, which is very different from a payday loan model. We also like how easy it is for employers to implement Rain - it doesn’t cost them anything. In today's labor market, the ability to offer on-demand pay is a huge advantage for employers, which is why we're so excited about this partnership."

“Employers offering Rain regularly see an increase in retention, employee motivation, and job applicants,” said Jordan Sanders, US Sales Director at Rain. “Our integration with TimeForge makes it easy for hundreds of employers and their staff to access Rain, our suite of financial wellness tools, and the benefits that come with it.”

For businesses already utilizing the TimeForge platform, setting up Rain is easy. TimeForge customers simply upload their existing worker information into the Rain system, set payout options such as direct deposit or paper check, and adjust settings before deploying the app in their stores.

Once integrated, employers can offer payday every day through Rain's secure payments platform. Additionally, businesses taking advantage of this integration are able to improve accuracy and visibility with automated real-time labor tracking built into the TimeForge system. Both platforms are easy to use and feature convenient self-service.

Overall, this collaboration between TimeForge and Rain provides a powerful solution for companies looking to differentiate themselves and provide employees with an important financial benefit.
