XVIII.A.2   Salary Advances

Salary advances may be requested to meet unusual short-term financial needs, for example when the extraordinary expenses of a research trip out of the country justify a departure from the normal schedule of salary payments. Salary advances may be approved for new foreign employees who are not allowed to take more than a minimum amount of currency out of their home countries. Salary advances may not exceed one month's net pay and must be repaid within two months. Advances may also be approved for faculty members who have completed their term of employment at Yale and who would normally be paid at the end of the month.

Advances will not be approved to cover routine expenditures for which the individual should plan or find other ways to finance, such as tax payments, vacations, or the purchase of goods or services.
