A maximum of two emergency payroll advances per year are available for regular UO staff in situations of
financial hardship. Financial hardship may result from an unusual, unforeseen event or condition that requires immediate financial attention.

Payroll advances are calculated on the employee's earned wages through the date of the request, not on projected earnings for the month. A maximum of sixty percent (60%) of gross wages may be advanced. All advances are subject to approval by the Payroll Office.

Temporary employees are eligible for one payroll advance per appointment.

Students are not eligible for payroll advances. However, students may apply for a short term loan which are available at the Student Billing Office.
