I would imagine it's hard to convince people who live paycheck to paycheck to pay $3 per week on this. That's the cost of a meal at McDonald's, where many of the target market members probably get at least a meal a week.

Wouldn't it make more sense to try and get the employer's on board this program? It allows the employer to offer a more reliable compensation to the employee, and they can just pull the fee out of their salary anyway?



This concept isn't terribly different than what the FLSA rules for Fluctuating Work Week offer.

Pretty sure it would be illegal for employers to withhold salary in this manner, even with the employee's permission.
