Requesting salary advances.

good luck, most will not do it. There is no reason you shouldn't be able to work out a payment plan with the medical provider.
 
It will reflect very poorly on you if you do. That's something somebody at McDonalds would do because they can't make rent. You are supposed to be a professional and handle your personal business.

That's what I would be worried about too.

However....... you know your boss better than we do. If he's cool and you explain the situation, it may not be that big of a deal.
 
I thought salary advances were only in the movies. Besides, shouldn't the 'chief consultant" have some sort of health insurance/plan?

I think consultants aren't paid employees of the company, the get paid more per hour but are offered no benefits. I may be wrong.

It's pretty common. The Alabama state school system gets paid once per month as do I in my job with a wholesale nursery. It cuts way down on payroll fees and associated costs. It's typically done for salaried employees only though.
 
If you are a white-collar professional, then you are expected to have a pretty decent safety net for emergencies.

Asking the company for an advance can potentially show immaturity, lack of organization and responsibility, it doesn't look good in front of management if you plan to advance.

Pretty much. You probably have at least 30 days to pay the medical bill anyway.

Check your employee handbook, mine mentions salary advances specifically (specifically, I believe it says pound sand).

I used to get paid monthly. I think it's only legal for salaried employees.

Consultants (people who have specialized and valuable skills) are usually employed by and paid by a consulting firm. Contractors (warm bodies to fill a position that is likely to be terminated in the future) are often paid by the company they're contracting for, and generally get no benefits and wouldn't be eligible for a pay advance anyway.

What's your take on it? Company only pays once a month, you are the chief consultant. Big medical bills just kicked in.

How big is your medical bill? Even with shitty insurance you shouldn't be paying more than $1k.

The medical emergency is already taken care of, hence the bill.

The bill itself is not a medical emergency. Pay a couple percentage of interest for a payday loan is much cheaper than potential lost opportunities for advancement.

Image is important in the corporate world, and don't be so short sighted.
