Apply for a loan
Ask the company for a staff loan from your own workspace. Pick a loan type, the amount and the months to repay, and see your monthly repayment before you send it.
Before you start
- Set up employees and supervisorsHR adds your employee record with the same email you sign in with, and your job with your join date. Without them you can't apply.
- Set up loansHR sets up the loan types you can choose, their limits, interest rates and who may apply.
In this article
You apply for a staff loan from My loans. HR checks it first, then management (usually the Managing Director) gives the final approval. Your line manager isn't involved. When it's approved you get an offer to accept, and once the money is paid out the monthly repayment comes out of your salary.
Steps
Open My loans
In the menu on the left, select My Loan. If you use the HR menu instead, it's HR › Loan › My Loans. The page is called My loans and shows every loan you've applied for. Select Apply for a loan.
- My Loans in the menu.
- Apply for a loan.
- One of your loans: its number, type, amount, monthly repayment and the date you applied.
- Its status, for example Pending HR approval or Fully paid.
- View Details opens the loan (see Accept a loan offer).
Fill in the application
The form fills in your name as Applicant. Fill in the rest.
- Loan type: each type shows its maximum amount. Only the types HR has made active are listed.
- Amount: the hint below shows the allowed range for this type, for example Between 500,000 and 1,000,000.
- Repayment (months): how many months you'll repay over, inside the range shown.
- Purpose: what the loan is for. Required.
- Supporting documents (optional): PDF, JPG or PNG, up to 10 MB each, for example a quotation.
- Repayment Summary: your estimated monthly repayment, the interest rate and the total you'll repay.
- Loan Type Limits: the maximum and minimum amount, the repayment range and the interest.
- Submit application.
Submit
Select Submit application. WbizManager first checks you're eligible:
- you've worked for the company long enough for this loan type, counted from your join date;
- you don't already have the most open loans allowed, and no other open application for the same type.
If you're eligible you'll see Loan application submitted successfully and then Application submitted successfully. You will be notified when it is reviewed. You also get an email.
