Advances

Advance for special purposes

The processing of advances is resource-intensive. Therefore, advances are only provided under exceptional circumstances.

How you avoid the need of an advance

Ask the supplier to invoice you (Norwegian).
Alternatively, pay expenses using your UiO credit card. Submit the form for refunds of expenses as soon as possible, so that the expense is refunded before the credit card payment falls due. Normally, this means that the employee's private finances will not be affected.

Advances are only provided to persons who are formally employed at UiO.
The minimum amount for an advance is NOK 3 000.
No advances are approved for entertainment outside working hours (Christmas dinner, summer party or similar), presents and expenses that can be settled using a credit card.
A new advance will not be allocated until a previous advance has been settled.

Submit the application form for advance (word) to your local accounts unit for attestation and authorization.
The local accounts unit forwards the application to the Reimbursement Group at the Payroll Office for payment.
For advances to be paid out, the application must reach the Payroll Office by the last voucher deadline prior to expenses being incurred, check the payroll schedule.

Advances are paid in the first and third week of every month, except in July, when payment is only made in the first week. For specific dates, check the payroll schedule.
Advances cannot be made out as a cheque.

Advances must be settled at the latest one month after the expense has incurred or the activity has been carried out.
Submit the settlement sheet for advances for special purposes (odt) (word) (Norwegian) together with all required documentation to your local accounts unit.
Note: Advances shall not be settled in the self-service portal.
Any amounts due are paid in accordance with the Payroll Office's schedule for salary and travel reimbursements.
