Hey there partners, it's Scooter here. I’m so excited to share my first blog post with you. I’m writing from my desk in my cube at the Starbucks Support Center. I am pleased to share that your idea about Electronic pay E-pay statements is actually being tested for a company-wide rollout.

I was really excited to hear about this program because like many of you, when payday rolls around and I get my pay stub, I just stick it in a drawer, or in my pocket or a random pile of papers somewhere and forget about it. And then when I actually need it for something, it’s nowhere to be found.

That’s why the E-Pay statement program is so great. When it rolls out, you’ll be able to quickly get any pay statement you want. But there are a few little kinks we need to iron out first. Currently, there are about 600 non-retail partners who are playing around with a demo version of the new tool. One of the big issues we face is that there are laws in different states that tell us what we can and can’t do for you regarding your pay. That may be the biggest hurdle, believe it or not. We’ll keep working on that and see what happens.

I have checked out the E-Pay statements and let me tell you, they’re pretty cool. You can see all kinds of detailed information about your pay that doesn’t show up on your paycheck, and best of all, you can’t ever lose them.

Well, that’s all I’ve got for now. I’ll be sure to keep you posted as I find out more info.

Cheers.
