TSA is not only committed to promoting a culture founded on the values of integrity, respect, and commitment but, sets the standard for excellence in transportation security through its people, processes, and technology. To execute its mission, TSA employs approximately 59,000 employees to secure our nations transportation systems and to screen an estimated 2.3 million passengers each day at over 440 Federalized airports, located throughout the United States and territories inclusive of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

HC strives to provide flexible and innovative solutions that address the full lifecycle of a TSA employee.
In pursuit of operational excellence, HC seeks to secure Earned Wage Access (EWA). This will be utilized to give our workforce access to earned wages in between pay cycles without relying on high cost lending products, credit cards, or emergency loans. Each pay period TSA pays approximately $300M per pay period in payroll.
