A heartfelt thank you to The New York Times for letting our Founder and CEO, Sid Pailla ☀️, share his story. 37% of Americans tapped their #retirement savings early, driven by low emergency savings and growing #debt, according to Transamerica’s 23rd Annual Retirement Survey of Workers. With student loan payments set to resume next month, many are anxious about the added financial burden. The silver lining here is this challenge opens the door for employers to provide critical support, such as financial wellness programs. If you only read one article from the New York Times, read this on the future of your financial security. Keep in mind: retirement and #emergencysavings aren't separate issues; they both are fundamental to building household wealth and improving their short- and long-term financial security. https://lnkd.in/g9_FvyHe #Data source: https://lnkd.in/eEvtWDhB #401k #hr #employeebenefits #totalrewards #studentloan
Sunny Day Fund ☀️
Financial Services
Payroll-deducted emergency savings platform driving better retention, fewer retirement loans & withdrawals, and more.
About us
Sunny Day Fund delivers the leading financial wellness platform that automates and incentivizes workplace emergency savings. Experts predict 40-60% of all employers will offer emergency savings accounts as a benefit by 2026 driven by Secure Act 2.0, which passed because of growing 401(k) loans and hardship withdrawals and continued financial vulnerability. As a result of the benefit, employers have been able to realize ~10x take-up rate compared to a basic financial literacy application, ~25% higher retention within participants, and half as many 401(k) loans and early withdrawals. Sunny Day Fund especially empowers younger or low and middle-income workers who struggle to handle unexpected expenses or may be living paycheck to paycheck. Additionally, because Black, Latinx, and female workers have disproportionately taken 401(k) loans and early withdrawals, providing a payroll-deducted emergency savings program has become a DEI priority as well. Sunny Day Fund is a Certified MBE and has its SOC 2 Type II certification without qualifications.

Nearly half of Gen Z workers would leave a job if it doesn’t offer real financial support. They’re looking for more than just a paycheck. They want benefits that help them feel financially safe and valued. It’s time to step up. As an employer who values a young workforce, here’s what you can do: • Introduce savings options that provide immediate help. • Educate your team on how to get the most out of these benefits. • Make sure savings are easy to access, even for remote workers.

Financial instability doesn’t just affect employees—it impacts the entire community. When employees struggle with unexpected expenses, it’s not just their wallets that take a hit. Local businesses suffer. Community growth stalls. The ripple effect of financial stress is real and widespread. Employees with workplace savings programs are better equipped to handle life’s curveballs. When people are financially stable, they are more likely to spend in their local economy, support small businesses, and contribute to community initiatives. So, what can employers do? 1. Offer savings programs that go beyond just retirement. 2. Educate your workforce on the importance of financial preparedness. 3. Create a culture that values and supports financial wellness. At Sunny Day Fund, we help employees save for emergencies, reduce financial stress, and boost their ability to contribute positively to the community. Let’s discuss how Sunny Day Fund can help your company support your employees and your community. Check out the link in the comments for more.⬇️

Payroll-deducted, employer-rewarded Emergency Savings as a Benefit. If employees are already treating the 401k as if it's an Emergency Savings Account, it's probably time for a real Emergency Savings Account.
It’s #BudgetingSeason in #EmployeeBenefits Land. What trends are you seeing? Benefits are interconnected. Total Rewards is trending toward a more holistic approach to the word “wellness” and how to operationalize that - mental, physical and financial. What have you been hearing from employees and clients about future fears that we can address through the benefit stack?? And let’s not make it all be fear-based - how to we bring more sunny days to their life?? #EmergencySavingsAccount #ESA

"Part-time employees don’t need benefits." When companies say this, they might be thinking: "Benefits are for full-timers, not part-timers." But here’s the truth: Offering benefits to part-timers is an investment. Why? • Attracts top talent. • Reduces turnover in high-churn industries. • Boosts morale—valued employees are engaged employees. • Creates a competitive edge—stand out by offering what others don’t. • Builds a resilient workforce—less financial stress means more productivity. Part-time employees are vital to your business. Treat them like it. Consider offering benefits like health insurance, sick leave, and ESAs. Ask yourself: "What are we losing by not investing in our part-time team?" The answer might surprise you. Visit the link in the comments to read our latest piece on part-time employee benefits. ⬇️
