Policy Procedures

When it is determined that an employee is eligible for a loan, the Payroll Office will calculate the loan amount and notify the Accounting Office. The employee must take picture ID to the Accounting Office in the Rakov building. The employee will be required to complete a Power of Attorney Form at the time they receive the loan to ensure that the loan amount will be recovered from the subsequent paycheck.

To reimburse the BASC account, the loan will be held from the next paycheck and a check for the difference will be issued. If the employee has direct deposit, it will be canceled until the loan is recovered in full. The Payroll Office will reinstate direct deposit once the loan has been repaid.
