What Is a Loan Amortization Schedule?
A Loan Amortization Schedule's main focus is to spread out loan payments over time. If an employee has requested a loan; the loan must be repaid through payroll deduction or paid out in full through a lump sum.
An amortized loan is one where the principal of the loan is paid down according to an amortization schedule, typically through equal monthly installments.
Once an employee’s loan has been approved they will receive an email with their loan amortization schedule.
The loan amortization schedule will contain:
- Employee details
