Clarify repayment before a smaller paycheck becomes a surprise

You’re the product designer. Your team is in the room. Printed Oct 20, 2026.

The confirmation screen must make immediate cash access feel predictable at the next paycheck.

Employees need money now, while the repayment step must remain clear enough to avoid a surprise deduction.

Who you’d be doing this for

“My rent was due, so I took the money, then my manager asked why my next check was short.”

Tomas Costa · Hourly retail employee

Uses Gusto Wallet on-demand pay to cover expenses between scheduled paydays.

What is at stake

Repayment-related reversals reach 14% within a day of an on-demand pay request. You must weigh faster access to cash against a confirmation moment employees can trust.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • fast cash access vs. informed repayment
  • plain language vs. precise disclosure
  • request completion vs. preventable reversals
  • rapid prototyping vs. reviewed customer claims

Why Gusto

Gusto Wallet connects on-demand pay directly to wages, so repayment clarity shapes trust in the money employees receive through payroll.
