Case Study: Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park achieves 100% retention and stronger recruiting with DailyPay

Mount Olympus Bolsters Employee Recruiting and Retention and Reduces Turnover

Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park, a major waterpark and theme park resort in Wisconsin Dells, struggled to recruit seasonal hourly workers and retain non-seasonal hourly staff in a highly competitive local labor market, leading to high absenteeism and costly turnover. To address this, Mt. Olympus partnered with DailyPay to offer employees on-demand access to earned wages before payday.

DailyPay’s on-demand pay solution was integrated as a payroll benefit, giving employees secure access to earned-but-unpaid wages; enrollment reached 38% of eligible employees and Mt. Olympus reports a 100% retention rate for both seasonal and non-seasonal staff since implementation. DailyPay’s offering reduced turnover-related costs (industry replacement cost ≈ $4,000 per employee), improved recruiting and retention, and required no employer fees.
