Amid financial stress, workers are asking for emergency savings accounts as a job benefit, survey finds

Stop asking for more benefits. Ask for more money.

We need to prohibit corporations from offering any benefit at all.

Universal healthcare, for example, will never happen until corporations are out of the picture completely.

Or you could simply pay people more.

Job loss is one of the most common reasons for needing an emergency fund. Any kind of tie between emergency savings and employment is a terrible idea.

I'm sure this is going to go over really well when people actually try and use that money.

"I'm sorry, your claim is denied"

This feels like just another excuse to offer "benefits" that can't be used rather than paying people.

workers are asking

"employers are putting words into workers' mouths"

Unless this is pretax money, I only see downsides to this versus just opening a regular account at your bank yourself and using your direct deposit allocations.
