A salary advance is when your employer agrees to give you a portion or the entirety of a future salary before your usual payday.
According to section 22 of the Employment Act of 1955, “An employee may only request an advance in the amount that does not exceed the employee’s salary in the preceding month.”
In less legal terms, this means that you are only allowed to claim an advance of no more than the last salary you drew.
预支工资是指你的雇主同意在你日常的发薪日前，提前给你部分或全部的未来的工资。
根据《1955年劳工法令》第22条，”雇员只能要求不超过其上个月工资的预支金额”。
用术语来说，这意味着雇员只能向公司申请不超过一个月工资（其最后一次提取的工资数额）的预支。
But what if the advance you need is more than one month of your salary?
但是，万一雇员需要预支的款项超过他一个月的工资呢？
