What does advance mean on a paycheck?
A paycheck advance is paying an employee their already earned pay, slightly before payday. A loan is not guaranteed to be recouped. Your staff member might not make loan payments on time, or worse, not pay the loan back at all. A paycheck advance offers access to earned pay, making it a less risky proposition.
Can an employer change your pay date?

When to check to see if your boss has transferred your salary?
Keeping in mind that money transfers can take up to 3 days, it’s appropriate to check in with your boss 3 – 5 days after the salary was due. You don’t need to give any reasons for asking where the money is, it’s part of your contract and should be transferred automatically.
Can a startup boss delay your paycheck?
The company is not doing well and might become bankrupt very fast, especially in the Startup scene.
