Get paid faster - access pay the same day from working
​​​​​​​
Worked a shift and need access to your pay sooner? uPaged offers same-day pay advances so you're not waiting until your next pay run.
​​​​​​​
Here's how it works and how to request one.
What is a pay advance?
A pay advance lets you access up to 50% of your verified shift pay on the same day - before your regular pay run.​​​​​​​

    What does it cost?
    A small administration fee applies which is deducted from your advance, depending on how many shifts you are advancing:
    • 1 shift - $12.00
    • 2 shifts = $13.50
    • 3 shifts = $15.00
    • 4 shifts = $16.50
    • 5 shifts = $18.00

    e.g. if your total pay is $400, the advance is $200, you'll receive $188, and the full $200 is deducted from your next pay run.

    Who can request a pay advance?
    You can request a pay advance if:

    • You've completed a shift through uPaged
    • You are employed through uPaged for the shift/s (not direct with the facility)
    • The timesheet has been confirmed by the facility

    Pay Advance Terms
    • The advance is recovered in full from your next regular pay run, along with the administration fee.

    • This advance has no impact on your tax, superannuation, or ordinary earnings.

    • A pay advance is only available between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

    • Unconfirmed timesheets can delay a pay advance being made. uPaged will make all reasonable efforts to assist with early timesheet sign-off from the facility.

    • First time payments to new bank details can take 2-3 days, so could impact timely payments for new or updated bank details.

    • uPaged may amend or withdraw this service at any time.
