How financial stress affects employers

It costs employers through presenteeism and absenteeism

Financial stress affects some 2.86 million Australian workers which is 24% of the workforce.

Based on average hourly pay of $38.76 per hour, the cost to the national economy is $47.2 billion dollars per year in lost revenue.

What are the major financial stress triggers?

"Bad" debt is the major stress trigger

"Bad" debt is of greatest concern to employees when it comes to issues causing financial stress, along with repaying the home loan, retirement, supporting the family and budgeting.

salarymate's debt consolidation addresses "bad" debt which is the first step on the way to financial well-being.

How does it work?

Fast and easy to sign-up for both employees and employers

Repayments from salary deductions

salarymate works by consolidating higher cost personal loan and credit card debt into a single low cost loan, and ensuring that loan repayments are prioritised via automatic salary deductions from payroll.

By repaying debt first, employees improve their financial well-being by reducing "bad" debt. Greater financial well-being leads to improved performance at work, which benefits the employer's bottom line as well as improving the employee's financial situation.

salarymate simplifies the entire process, from facilitating a lower cost loan, to administering the payroll deduction and reporting progress to the employee.

The combination of assurred payments and administered repayments allows debt to be consolidated at lower cost for the lender.

About us

Simplifying debt consolidation

salarymate helps employees improve their financial well-being by using salary deductions to repay the interest on a simple, low-cost loan used to consolidate other personal debt obligations.

With debt having risen almost 4% faster than income since 1990 to being 16% of an average household income, we saw an opportunity for salarymate to become a powerful tool for employees to manage and reduce their debt.

By helping to ease employee's financial stress, we knew that we would also help employers' bottom line and serve a positive social purpose.
