โ€œIn an on-demand world, the two-week pay cycle most Canadian workers live with does seem anachronistic and a bit patronizing. Youโ€™re asked to work harder and smarter to meet the demands of todayโ€™s world, but The Man keeps paying you the same way your parents and probably your grandparents were.โ€ Rob Carrick; Pay on Demand Reflects todayโ€™s Financial Stress; The Globe and Mail (Toronto, Canada); Jul 25, 2023.
