HEB ISD to offer Frontline Flex Pay to all employees, pilot launch set for May 12
Summary
District staff presented Frontline Flex Pay (WageStream) as a no‑cost employee payroll and financial‑wellness benefit that includes earned‑wage access, a 5% APY FDIC‑insured savings option funded by WageStream, and on‑demand financial education; tentative launch date is May 12.
Hurst‑Euless‑Bedford Independent School District plans to offer a payroll‑integrated financial wellness program called Frontline Flex Pay to all employees who choose to enroll, including substitutes.
Miss Clombe, who introduced the program, said Frontline Flex Pay is powered by WageStream and provides real‑time tracking of earnings, on‑demand access to earned wages without loans or credit impact, savings tools and financial education developed with Visa and the Financial Literacy Institute. She described one savings feature as an FDIC‑insured savings account offering a 5% APY paid by WageStream. “Frontline Flex Pay will give our employees the tools to manage their money better, access their pay when they need it, build savings, and reduce stress,” she said.
Clombe outlined launch steps: communications, technical integration, two to three weeks of testing, staff enrollment and training, and dedicated post‑launch support from WageStream. The tentative district launch date is May 12. She said the program will be available to substitutes and part‑time hourly employees who opt in, and that instant transfers to external accounts carry a nominal fee (example cited: $3.29) while standard 24‑hour transfers are free; WageStream caps fees at 10 transactions per month.
Board members asked whether substitutes and long‑term subs would be eligible; Clombe confirmed eligibility for all subs. The board did not take formal action during the presentation. District communications, payroll, technology and HR will coordinate implementation and provide enrollment details to staff prior to launch.
