given as advance but based on the emergency, a maximum of two

Accounts Dept. from his/her Pay-check, makes the payment. The
following are some guidelines for repayments:
1. If financial situation permits, the employee is asked to pay the
money back with 6 equal monthly payments.
2. If the financial situation does not permit, the employee is given the
opportunity to pay back with 12 equal monthly instalments.
3. If the amount of loan is large and the repayment imposes hardship
on the employee, it may be considered to extend the repayment
schedule to a maximum of 24 equal instalments. In such cases, the
Department Head of the employee must recommend the accounts
department to do so.
4. If the loan or advance is related to medical payments and the
employee is eligible for medical benefit, the advance/loan will be
applied towards the eligible benefit once the treatment is received.
Upon receipt of all medical vouchers, the employee is required to
submit “Medical Bills Reimbursement Form”, F10-201-06-05 as
per guidelines provided in Section 6.12.2 and apply the
advance/loan towards the refund. Any excess amount taken as
advance/loan must be paid back immediately after the treatment is
