How to Enable or Disable Salary Advance in FuseOffice HRM

To begin, navigate to:
Human Resource > Settings > General Settings

Then switch to the Salary Advance tab.

This section allows you to control whether employees can request salary advances and how repayment rules work.

1. Enable or Disable Salary Advance

Toggle Enable Salary Advance ON or OFF to activate or deactivate the feature for your organisation.

2. Maximum Allowed Installments

This defines the number of installments an employee can use to repay a salary advance.

• The system divides the requested amount by the number of installments.

• Payroll automatically deducts the installment amount every pay run.

Example:
If an employee receives K3,000 in advance and the maximum installments are 3, payroll deducts K1,000 each month.

3. Salaries That Can Be Skipped Before First Deduction

This setting allows you to specify how many payroll runs can be skipped before repayment begins.

• If you set 2, employees can choose 0, 1, or 2 skipped cycles when requesting an advance.

• Choosing 1 means the first deduction happens one payroll run later.

• If you don’t want any skipping, set the value to 0.

4. Disable Salary Advance X Days Before Payroll

Use this to block employees from requesting a salary advance too close to your payroll date.

How it works:

• Enter the number of days before payroll when advance requests should be disabled.

• Example: If payroll runs on the 30th and you set this rule to 5, then from the 25th onwards, employees can no longer request a salary advance.

Summary

These settings let you control how salary advances are requested and repaid, ensuring employees follow structured repayment cycles and do not request advances too close to payroll.
