<p>This week on What the FTE? we rethink one of the most overlooked levers in talent strategy, how we pay people. Traditional pay cycles were built for bookkeepers, not workers. </p><p>Sean Paulseth, Head of Revenue, Canada at ZayZoon, is here to show why pay timing matters as much as pay level. We dig into how on‑demand pay reduces financial stress, boosts retention and becomes a strategic advantage in frontline and hourly workforces. </p><p>Sean shares how pay innovation works in practice, the guardrails that protect workers and why leaders need to ask payroll teams a new question about compensation design.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p></p><p>Enjoyed the episode?</p><p>👉 <strong>Get the full playbook</strong> on this topic:<a href="http://www.certn.co/blog"> <u>www.certn.co/blog</u></a></p><p>👉 <strong>Join thousands of HR leaders receiving our weekly HR insights</strong>:<a href="http://www.certn.co/podcast"> <u>www.certn.co/podcast</u></a></p>
