Configure advances and recurring benefits without complicating payroll close.
What a salary advance is
A salary advance is the early payment of part of the compensation, usually mid-month. It’s a benefit employees value and is common in many companies.
The thing to watch is making sure the advanced amount is correctly deducted at close, so you don’t pay twice.
Setting it up on the platform
In Avos, you define the advance as a recurring pay item and the platform handles the automatic deduction in the period’s calculation.
That avoids parallel spreadsheet controls and ensures the final net is always correct.
Payroll impact
Set up well, an advance doesn’t change charges or the tax base — it just spreads payment across the month. With automation, it’s transparent for HR and the employee.
