Real-time salary, which is the ability to receive wages as you work, is still new in Norway. But soon, it’ll be everywhere.
While most employers here have barely heard of it, forward-thinking companies in the US and UK have already implemented real-time salary. Why? Because they want to attract and retain employees in an increasingly competitive labor market.
And the numbers are clear: real-time pay doesn’t just give employees greater financial security and flexibility – it offers clear benefits to employers too. Studies show higher employee satisfaction and lower turnover. In other words: your best people stay longer.
The question is not whether this will come to Norway (we at Celeri launched with the first companies in Norway this winter). It's who dares to adopt it first and what opportunities others miss out on.

One of the main reasons employees leave their jobs is not about the work environment, salary levels, or career opportunities, but about personal finances, according to PwC's survey Employee Financial Wellness Survey from 2023.
It shows that 47% of employees say financial stress affects their performance at work, and 57% say it impacts their mental health.
A similar report from EY reveals that 70% of individuals in the UK and US regularly experience financial stress, which is directly linked to reduced productivity and higher turnover.
This is exactly where real-time pay can make a real difference – it’s a simple, yet effective tool.
Real-time pay is an investment employers make to bring peace of mind to their teams, build loyalty, and reduce financial stress.

A major challenge for many employees today is the financial uncertainty that builds up between paychecks.
According to a survey by Sentio Research, nearly half of the Norwegian population worries about their financial situation during the year.
Being able to access earned wages along the way – instead of waiting for a fixed payday – gives people more control and breathing room in their daily lives. It removes unnecessary stress when money gets tight, and it can help prevent employees from turning to expensive credit.
And when people feel better outside of work, they tend to perform better at work too.
