Many times despite the fact that everything can go on the right track, a bad month can spoil everything we have achieved, unexpected expenses can be presented, Emergency situations, or adverse events to our economy, whatever reason, all these moments usually put the worker in a fairly uncomfortable situation that can make their earnings of the month be short.
But, there is a way in which we could get an advance of the payment of our payroll, although this may sound like a fantasy. The truth is that the regulations of the right to the worker say that asking for a soil advance is not an optional option. This is a right that all workers have, as long as this request is made with respect to what this law stipulates.
The main key in this is that in the Workers’ Statute, the legal text refers to certain regulations where the worker can choose to ask for an advance of his monthly payment. Although it is explained that the salary is paid “punctually and documentary on the date and place agreed or according to the uses and customs.”
The correct way to ask for a salary advance from your company
According to this statute of workers, it is a right to request the advance of a salary of an already done work. But it must be taken into account that only concrete amounts of the salary can be taken into account. Following this, it can only be charged based on the days worked, and not based on the entire month in case it has not yet ended. In this sense, the calculation is logical, since if I request an advance on day 15 you can only get half of the salary. If an advance is requested 5 days after having received the previous payment, you can only opt for an advance corresponding to those 5 days.
The first step to be able to ask for a soil advance is to ask the company directly. Although it is advisable to consult the collective agreement or the signed contract, this in order to know if there have been modifications in this right. Be that as it may, the worker must write a letter addressed to the Human Resources Department. This not only to start the process, but to record in writing of it.
The following will be to wait for the company’s response to our new application, this answer can take to be accepted 1 day. But if this type passes, the worker may ask about the application, since he is in his right to receive an advance if he wishes. Although in the signed contract it is stipulated that this cannot be done, nothing can be done in this regard.
