Workflow in action
Simplifying salary advances
Illustrating how employees request a salary advance and how admins review, approve, or reject it seamlessly within PayFit.
01
Admin personaActivate the feature
Admins can give employees access to the salary advance feature in just a few clicks. A dedicated landing page highlights its benefits and lets admins enable it directly from their dashboard.
02
Employee personaRequest
Once the feature is activated by the admin, employees can access it directly from their personal space. From there, they can see how much they can request, understand how their salary will be impacted, and track the status of their request, whether it’s approved or declined.
03
Admin personaValidate
When a request is submitted, the admin receives a notification directly in their dashboard. At a glance, they can see the employee’s previous requests, check their remaining advance eligibility, and view the updated salary if approved, making it easy to make a quick, informed decision.
