Add Gap Loan
A Gap Loan is a loan option given to companies using Salarium which allows them to set a Minimum Net Take Home pay for their employees. When the calculated Net Take Home Pay of an employee is less than the set amount, the company will automatically provide the supplemental amount needed to reach the Minimum Net Take Home Pay. This amount will then be considered as a loan.
Sample Scenario:
The Minimum Take Home Pay for the payroll group where the employee is included is Php 5000. Upon generating regular payroll, the computed employee’s actual Take Home Pay is Php 3800. The employee is Php 1200 short considering the Minimum Take Home Pay set. Allowing the system to do a Gap Loan transaction lends the exact lacking amount. The amount and monthly loan payment can further be adjusted.
When the system detects that an employee’s salary is lower than the *Minimum Net Take Home Pay, a dialog box will appear asking if you want to make a Gap loan transaction. This only appears if the Gap Loan has been activated upon creating the payroll group.
