Updated Aug 2026
Staff sometimes need part of their pay early. RushFlow lets you record a salary advance against an employee and recover it automatically from payroll, keeping a running balance so an advance is never forgotten or double-recovered.
Step by step
- Record the advanceWeb: in the HR area, record a salary advance for the employee with the amount and date. App: open the HRM workspace → the employee → advance.
- Pay it outPay the advance from a cash/bank account; it’s recorded as owed by the employee.
- Recover at payrollWhen you run payroll, the outstanding advance is deducted from the employee’s pay (in full or by instalment), reducing the balance.
- Track the balanceSee each employee’s outstanding advances at any time so recovery is transparent.
Where to find it
Web: the HR / employee area. Management app (Android/iOS): the HRM workspace.
Advances, loans and staff purchases are all recovered from pay and tracked — see staff purchases.
