Compensation for hard work takes on a new dimension as Celeri now launches real-time pay, also known as EWA (Earned Wage Access). As the first player in Norway, Celeri will offer employees the option to receive daily wages instead of monthly. Studies from other countries show that real-time pay has had a positive impact on both recruitment and employee motivation, but what do Norwegian employers think? We spoke with the CEO of ATR Cleaning, Sharon Odonio Rubio, to get her thoughts on introducing Celeri's real-time pay.
"We are a small company in growth, and I handle most things, including payroll," says Rubio.
She holds a master's degree in business and specializes in accounting and business control, along with a background in service management.

What kind of pay system do you currently have?
What kind of pay system do you currently have?
– "We pay our employees once a month, usually on the 20th. If we have sufficient funds, sometimes we pay a bit earlier. I manually input the hours for both hourly and salaried employees once a month. Although it has worked for us so far, it's not very flexible. Monthly payment is standard in Norway, but I think it’s time we consider newer and more flexible options."

– "I’m excited about what Celeri can bring to the company, and the idea of Earned Wage Access (EWA) is very interesting. Our employees are the heart of the business, and many of our workers with immigrant backgrounds support families abroad who may have unexpected expenses. Easier access to wages can therefore be very helpful, and Celeri can provide the comfort and flexibility they need."

What problems do you think Celeri will solve for you?
– "We struggle to attract good employees. Offering EWA through Celeri can make ATR more attractive. It’s difficult to fill extra shifts, but if employees get paid immediately after work, they might be more willing to take them on. This could set us apart in the job market and keep the team satisfied. I can imagine there suddenly being a rush for the extra shifts."
