Salary Advances

GUIDELINES

Salary advances are permitted for new or re-hired employees during their first month of employment should they require time to adjust to the University’s payroll frequency.

Salary advances are intended to provide a means to compensate the employees for work already performed while waiting for their initial paperwork to be processed.  They are NOT a substitute for proper planning and timely submission of an employee’s paperwork.

PROCEDURES

• Salary Advance forms must be submitted to Workforce Management no later than noon on Tuesday.
• Checks are available for pick up at WFMO Uptown on Wednesday, or in Financial Services (Health Science Center) on Thursday.
• A second (third for bi-weekly) or subsequent salary advance for the same new or rehire employee will require Senior Officer approval to process the advance.
• The advance amount is calculated based on 70% of salary for days worked.
• The advance is considered a loan and will be deducted from the employee’s first available payroll check.
