CFED and the San Francisco Office of Financial Empowerment are excited to announce a webinar titled Financial Empowerment through Employer Engagement: Opportunities, Challenges and Next Steps, to take place Wednesday, June 15 from 3 – 4:30 pm EDT. The webinar will feature the findings of research highlighted in a new report, Financial Empowerment through Employer Engagement: Migrating a City to a Paperless Payday, and the discussion will include the authors of this report along with other experts working to bring paperless payday efforts to fruition.

Leigh Phillips, Manager, San Francisco Office of Financial Empowerment and Eugénie FitzGerald, project consultant for the Office of Financial Empowerment, authored the report, which describes original research with businesses and employees designed to understand the impact of direct deposit and electronic pay on businesses and low-income employees throughout San Francisco. FitzGerald and San Francisco Treasurer José Cisneros were among the inaugural class of CFED Innovators-in-Residence, a role designed for creative individuals to bring their concepts to application and scale with assistance from CFED.

Ida Rademacher, CFED’s Vice President for Policy and Research, will introduce and moderate the webinar. Also presenting will be Cathy Beyda, Attorney and Chairperson of the American Payroll Association’s Government Affairs Task Force on Payroll Cards and the Association’s Paycard User Group.

Sign up now for the webinar, which will provide insight into research with businesses and employees about the benefits of and challenges from direct deposit and electronic pay, as well as the implications for future action by city leaders, businesses, state policymakers, advocates and others interested in building assets and financial security for low- and moderate-income individuals.
