If you give an employee an amount of money to repay over a period of time, use the loan option to record this.

This deducts the amount directly from their net pay. You can then set the total amount due and the amount the employee will pay each period, until they reach the total loan amount. You can also check amounts outstanding at the beginning and end of each pay period.
