The Employee Financial Assistance Program is an interest-free loan program available to employees. The loans offered are up to $1,200. The loan is repaid through payroll deductions spread out over ten months.
Employees often have emergency expenses to pay for health/dental care, school or child care, auto/ home repairs, or other unforeseen situations. Unlike high-interest loans, Tucson Jewish Loan is repaid with no interest and no costs to the borrower.
Once an employer agrees to be a part of the Tucson Jewish Free Loan Employee Financial Assistance Program, a Tuscon Jewish Free Loan representative will work with their or the company’s Human Resource department to implement a quick and easy loan process. The loan will be repaid from authorized payroll deductions, by the payment schedule outlined in the loan agreement, beginning on a scheduled payday. The loan may be paid back early without penalty.
The employee must be employed full-time for at least one year with the employer and be a resident of Southern Arizona including Pima, Cochise and Santa Cruz counties. Eligibility for the loan program will be assessed once a loan application is received.
The loan is through Tucson Jewish Free Loan. The employer makes this program available voluntarily. The loan process is confidential.
If employment should terminate for any reason, the full balance of the loan will be taken out within accordance with the wage and hour law from the final paycheck. Employers must notify TJFL staff of the termination within 48 hours. The employee is ultimately responsible for repaying the loan after they leave the job. Employees must provide a debit card at the time of signing the final loan paperwork with the Tucson Jewish Free Loan representative. The employee will sign a waiver permitting Tucson Jewish Free Loan to withdraw automatic monthly payments from a debit card if employment is terminated to pay off the loan balance.
Each organization is granted up to two loan defaults. After two defaults (even if the borrower is no longer with the organization), the program will be cancelled. The organization may pay off the loan balance to reinstate the program for their employees.
