BOP Program Statement 2013.04 § 6
OUTSTANDING SALARY ADVANCES
The Business Administrator has the responsibility to ensure that all outstanding salary advances
are promptly settled. Delinquent salary advances shall be collected through Salary Offset in the
same manner as outstanding travel advances, as described in Section 5, with the following
differences:
■ Salary advances are to be repaid by the employee within five working days of receipt of the
outstanding salary check.
■ When the employee is given the salary advance, a letter shall be issued to the employee from
the Business Administrator, through the CEO, stating the time frame for repayment of the salary
advance and the employee’s responsibility to update the Business Administrator biweekly as to
whether the outstanding salary check has been received.
■ If the employee fails to update the Business Administrator biweekly of the outstanding salary
check’s status, the Business Administrator shall follow up monthly with the employee to
determine if the outstanding salary check has been received and if payment is due. All contacts
with the employees shall be documented and maintained in a file.
■ If the employee does not repay the salary advance within five working days of receipt of the
outstanding salary check, the debt is delinquent and the Business Administrator shall issue the
30-day written notice (including a statement that the debt will accrue interest), bill the employee,
and reclassify the debt from a salary advance to an accounts receivable as explained below:
Billed Receivable
Post Code BA Employee Debt
Post Code BB Employee Debt by Reclassifying Travel Advance
Select Employee Debt by Reclassifying Salary Advance
This will generate automatic entries to General Ledger Account 1310.61, Refund Receivable –
Employee Debt. This debt will accrue interest as described in Section 9.
