PeopleShare to Pay Employees' Student Debt

COLLEGEVILLE, Pa., Feb. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- PeopleShare announced Friday, January 29^th, 2021, it will be paying $250/month to each employee to help pay off their student loans.  This new benefit aligns with PeopleShare's mission to invest and support its employees in their long term professional and financial stability.  

"Our employees have told us their student loan debt is a huge source of stress. We hope that this new benefit will lessen some of that worry and help them pay off that debt more quickly," said David Donald, Co-founder of PeopleShare.
