Portland, OR, May 1st, 2026 - Great Northern Staff Administrators (GNSA), a leading provider of payroll services and human capital management solutions for small to mid-sized companies throughout the Northwest, has partnered with ZayZoon to expand its PeoplePro platform with integrated Earned Wage Access (EWA).
The new on-demand pay offering enables employees to access a portion of their earned wages before payday, helping reduce financial stress and providing greater flexibility in managing day-to-day expenses. When payday comes, any wages withdrawn by the employee are paid back to the EWA provider.
“Today’s workforce expects greater flexibility and more personalized financial benefits,” said Katharina Fink, President of GNSA. “By partnering with ZayZoon, we’re giving our clients access to an innovative solution, with no direct cost to the employer, that supports employee financial wellness while helping employers remain competitive in attracting and retaining talent.”
Through the integration, GNSA clients can offer EWA, financial wellness tools, reward and recognition tools, and additional employee perks. According to ZayZoon, employers offering EWA solutions have experienced improvements in retention, recruiting, and employee satisfaction.
“At GNSA, we are committed to continuously enhancing the value we deliver to our clients,” stated Fink. “Adding Earned Wage Access represents an evolution in payroll beyond the limitations of traditional pay periods and is another step in providing forward-thinking payroll and HR solutions that align with the changing needs of today’s workforce.”
