Salary Advance New

Earned Wage Access — Without Breaking Payroll

Give employees access to a portion of their earned salary before payday — with full employer control, smart limits, and automatic payroll deductions.

Reduce financial stress for employees while keeping payroll accurate and under control.

  • Instant employee self-service requests

    Employees submit advance requests directly from their portal — no phone calls, no paperwork, no waiting for HR.

  • Employer stays in full control

    Set advance limits per employee, require manual approval, or configure auto-approve within defined thresholds. You decide the rules.

  • Smart limits based on earned salary

    Advance amounts are capped as a percentage of salary earned to date — employees can never request more than they've earned.

  • Automatically deducted from next payroll

    Approved advances are tracked and deducted automatically during the next payroll run — no manual journals, no spreadsheet adjustments.

  • Full audit trail and reporting

    Every request, approval, and deduction is logged. Generate advance reports and track outstanding balances at any time.

All advances are securely tracked and automatically reconciled in your payroll — keeping your books accurate and your compliance intact.

  • Company bank account management

    Store and manage multiple company bank accounts for different entities or payroll batches.

  • Payment history & reconciliation

    A complete ledger of every payroll payment — match, verify, and reconcile in seconds.
