1. The Agency may, at the employee's request, authorize an emergency payment to an employee when his/her salary payment is not received on the established payday, subject to Sections 3 and 4 of this section.

2. Emergency employee payments cannot be an advance of salary, but can only be for the amount earned for a pay period (excluding overtime) which was not paid to the employee on the established payday.
