Financial Hardships

Allow employees to request financial support during difficult times, and give HR a clear process to review, approve, and track hardship cases.

What Are Financial Hardships?

Financial hardship requests let employees ask for special financial assistance — such as an emergency advance, fee waiver, or other support — when they face unexpected personal or family difficulties.

Employee: Submitting a Request

1. Go to Finance → My Hardship Requests.
2. Click to create a new request.
3. Describe the situation and the type of support needed.
4. Submit — HR receives a notification to review.

HR: Managing Hardship Requests

2. Review pending requests and supporting details.
3. Approve, reject, or request more information.
4. If approved, process the support (for example, a special advance or adjusted payment).

Privacy & Sensitivity

Hardship requests contain personal information. Access is limited to HR and finance staff with the appropriate permissions. Treat all requests confidentially.
