Benefits

Loan

Credit extended to an employee, repaid via payroll deductions.

An employee loan is credit granted by the employer (or a partner) and repaid through scheduled deductions from net pay. A good payroll system tracks the balance, schedules repayments and stops deductions automatically once the loan is cleared.
