What Salary Advance Requests Do
Salary Advance lets an employee request part of their salary before the normal pay date. Approved advances may later be deducted or handled through payroll.
Practical Example
An employee requests a $300 salary advance. HR approves the request. Payroll records the advance and confirms how it will be recovered in a future payroll run.
