GCash Offers Manpower Agencies a Time-Saving Payroll Disbursement System

Published

on

For manpower agencies, which have thousands of employees deployed in different offices and locations, transitioning to a cashless payroll disbursement platform was critical during the pandemic.

Aside from the complicated logistics and health risks of actual cash handling during the pandemic, manpower agencies also spent long hours to manually keep track of salaries, actual work hours, and promotion or position changes. When there are mistakes in computations, it also takes time to trace and fix them. With these inconvenient and time-consuming problems made worse by restrictions during the pandemic, manpower agencies needed a more agile solution to ensure that their employees get paid the correct salaries on time, wherever they are, in a safe and secure manner.

A cashless disbursement platform like GCash PowerPay, a fast and secure digital payroll solution for salaries, allowances, incentives and more, provided the answer.

GCash PowerPay Plus also enables companies to disburse tactical incentives and allowances for their workers through vouchers that can be used for over 75,000 merchants nationwide. Currently, there are over 300 manpower agencies that benefit from GCash’s seamless and cashless payroll system, including Regcris Marketing Network Inc, MAR Employment for Good Services, Inc., and Wizard Manpower and Allied Services.

It’s a win-win proposition for both the company and its employees – the disbursement process is easier and more efficient, while employees get fast and convenient access to their salaries to support their families, while staying safe,” said Martha Sazon, president and CEO of GCash.

GCash AVP for Enterprise Kim Pineda also added, “Enabling these agencies to go cashless with a rapid payroll disbursement system also means we’re helping them achieve a higher satisfaction rate with their employees. GCash PowerPay Plus also helps agencies to save time from the manual processing so they can proceed with other works more efficiently.”

Aside from this, GCash has also helped agencies to easily keep a record of transactions for budgeting purposes. “With GCash, we can easily generate transaction logs with date, time, amount and status which help us to budget and forecast our monthly reports,” said Ermylen Daileg, treasury assistant of Regcris Marketing Network.

With a cashless payroll disbursement, not only can employees receive their salaries hassle-free, but they also have quick access to remittance, bills payments, and bank transfer features on the GCash app. Plus, they can conveniently buy essentials in numerous stores which accept QR payments from GCash.

“GCash is one of the best mobile wallets so far — fast transaction and convenient to use especially during this pandemic. You don’t need to transact over the counter just to pay for your bills, to deposit in other banks, and so on. It also helps me a lot with my small business because most of my customers use GCash as a mode of payment,” said Hanah Jerthy Turalba, an employee at Wizard Manpower & Allied Services.

Thanks to GCash, these manpower agencies were able to have a safe and efficient payroll disbursement system, making it convenient for both the companies and employees.

GCash Spoofing Scammers Warning

Published

on

With online scams becoming more and more sophisticated by the minute, GCash and the Philippine National Police  Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG) are taking this issue seriously.

The newest on the block is called “spoofing scam.”  Spoofing scam is a scam where perpetrators use illegal software to make their text scams look like they came from legitimate sources like banks, e-commerce companies, and other big, trusted companies. Since they appear ‘legit,’ unsuspecting targets may fall victim and unknowingly click the link and leak sensitive personal and financial information to fraudsters.

To prevent this from happening to its customers, GCash, the Philippines’ number 1 fintech app, warns its users that all of their Send Money Confirmations are now sent to the GCash App inbox. They also remind the public that if any individual messages them that they have mistakenly sent money to their GCash account and are asking to send it back, they should be vigilant and check their transaction history first to know if this is correct or a ploy to steal from them.

Announced milestone and showcased coconut industry potential at World Congress

The Philippines is one of the world’s largest exporters of coconut products, however, this industry faces multiple challenges such as low productivity due to a host of social, financial and logistical factors. To further support and promote the country’s coconut industry, leading fintech superapp GCash, through its in-app sustainability feature GForest, in partnership with HOPE and Century Pacific Food, Inc. (CPFI), has planted one million coconut trees in Mindanao alone, co uplifting the lives of over 7,600 smallholder farmers, of whom 32% are women.

GCash and its partners also attended the World Coconut Congress, which was recently held at the World Trade Center in Pasay City, where GForest sustainability head CJ Alegrem, along with Nanette Medved-Po, founder and chairwoman of HOPE, and Noel Tempongko, Vice President and General Manager of Century Pacific Agricultural Ventures, Inc. (CPAVI), CPFI’s OEM-Coconut business, proudly shared the positive impact of their partnership.

“The success of the GForest program in Mindanao is a testament to our ‘Tech for Good’ vision. With the help of our green heroes, the one million coconut trees planted in the region brings us closer to our goal of contributing to carbon sequestration, while at the same time, providing sustainable livelihoods for local farmers,” shared Alegre.

This initiative not only aims to address the challenges surrounding the direct supply chains for coconut oil, but also the cultivation areas as a whole as the project supports local communities, helping them achieve financial growth and empowerment.

“We’re incredibly proud of what GCash, HOPE, and Century Pacific Food, Inc. have achieved together. The work doesn’t stop there. We are committed to continuing our work towards a healthier planet while providing livelihood to smallholder farmers who need it the most,” said Medved-Po.

The partnership was initially launched in August 2021 through GForest, an environmental protection feature on the GCash app that allows users to take an active role in the country’s reforestation efforts. Through the platform, GCash users earn green energy points, which can be used to plant virtual trees. In turn, GCash, together with its partners across the Philippines, plant an actual tree for every virtual tree in the app.
