AllShifts just pulled off something no other healthcare staffing firm has: instant pay for W-2 workers—100% of net wages, available seconds after shift approval.
In an industry where “same-day pay” has typically been reserved for 1099 gig workers, AllShifts’ new True Instant Pay feature is a first-of-its-kind move, now available to W-2 per-diem nurses, aides, and allied health professionals nationwide.
Instant Pay for W-2: What’s the Big Deal?
Here’s why this matters: W-2 employees typically can’t access real-time pay. That’s largely because payroll for W-2s includes taxes, withholdings, benefits deductions, and strict compliance requirements that make instant calculations difficult—if not impossible—on traditional systems.
AllShifts cracked the code. By connecting multiple backend technologies, the platform can:
-
Approve time entries via the mobile app
-
Instantly calculate net pay—including all deductions
-
Deliver 100% of earned wages in seconds—straight to a debit card or bank account
This goes beyond same-day payouts—this is real-time earnings, available the moment a shift is verified.
Built for the Realities of Per-Diem Work
Healthcare workers on short-term and per-diem shifts often shoulder the most urgent, unpredictable workloads—but typically wait days to see a paycheck. That financial delay creates friction, especially in a labor market where flexibility is king and burnout is rampant.
True Instant Pay isn’t just a perk—it’s a recruiting and retention edge. AllShifts is the only platform offering it to both W-2 employees and 1099 contractors, with zero fees and full tax compliance handled on the backend.
How It Works
-
Clinicians complete a shift and log time in the AllShifts mobile app.
-
Supervisors approve the hours.
-
The system calculates net pay in real time, accounting for all taxes and deductions.
-
Funds land in the clinician’s account—often within seconds.
It’s frictionless, compliant, and free for workers. And it’s a potential game-changer in a sector where speed and agility matter—not just in staffing, but in payroll.
A First in the Staffing Industry
While instant payouts have existed in fintech-enabled gig apps, no other healthcare staffing firm has delivered it at this level for W-2 employees. AllShifts had already offered same-day pay since 2023—but this latest update levels up the experience with zero delay and full compliance.
Expect competitors to scramble to catch up. Until then, AllShifts owns the instant-pay edge in a high-turnover, high-demand labor market.
