Request for advance payment of salary

Here, it is important to distinguish between an advance on pay for work not yet performed and an advance payment for work already completed. For example, if your employee asks you to pay them their remuneration for work that they have not yet done (for example, their October pay when it is September), this is an advance request that you are free to refuse.

However, you must grant an employee’s first request for an advance on the current month’s salary, as it covers work already performed. The advances may be paid only from the 15th of the month and must equal half of the employee’s monthly remuneration (i.e., the amount due for the first 15 days worked).
