Great piece on EWA (daily salaries or earned wage access)

How EWA reforms Turkey’s broken payroll system
In Turkey today, millions wake up, work hard, and go to sleep with less money than they had yesterday — even if they didn’t spend a single  lira.
Why? Because the lira itself is melting.

Over the past five years, the Turkish lira has lost over 80% of its value against the U.S. dollar. What used to be a month’s rent now barely covers a week’s groceries. Inflation isn’t just rising — it’s exploding. Year-on-year CPI inflation hit 68.5% in March 2025, according to official stats. Unofficial? Likely higher.
And yet… workers are still told to wait 30 days to get paid.
Let that sink in. In a country where your money loses value every day, you're forced to wait an entire month to access it. You have no choice.
That’s not payroll — that’s a trap.
Now, here’s where EWA companies like Volante labs (volantechain.com) steps in.
“So why hasn’t it changed from 30-day-salaries? Because they think they profit from the delay. It’s actually a lose-lose”
“You see, they tell workers to be patient. To wait thirty days for a wage they earned today. In a world where rent is due weekly, inflation eats your savings by the hour, and emergencies don’t knock — they break the door down. That wait isn’t just a delay. It’s a tax on the working class. And they call it normal. 

They say, 'It’s just how it’s always been.' But it’s not. Less than a century ago, men were paid daily. Henry Ford did it too — not out of charity, but because it worked. Now? A man breaks his back for twelve hours and still has to borrow to fix a leaking roof. A woman feeds a family and stretches rice because payroll is ‘processing.’ And as for freedom — what freedom? Banks and corporations get to decide when you can access your own wages. 
You’ve done your part, sold your time, honored the deal — yet your payment is held hostage. What they’ve built is a system of invisible chains. Artificial delays. Unnecessary intermediaries. And they dare call it structure. But it’s plain Ausnützerei. Exploitation by design. This is where EWA — Earned Wage Access — steps in. Not as a perk. As a correction. A correction to decades of institutional theft dressed up as order. 
With Volante, you don’t wait. You work, you get paid — same day. In full. In stable value that holds its ground. No middlemen. No pointless fees. No erosion by inflation. You keep the interest if you save. You decide when and how to spend, invest, or hold. Because real freedom isn’t theoretical — it’s the ability to act now. 
Not thirty days too late. And here’s the kicker: it’s more profitable for employers too. Daily pay boosts productivity. It slashes sick days. Cuts turnover. Employees show up sharper, stay longer, and stress less. Layer AI automation on top, and the whole system runs leaner. Payroll becomes a precision tool, not a blunt instrument. So why hasn’t it changed? Because they think they profit from your delay. It’s actually a lose-lose. We’ve published proof, research and now the infrastructure.
