Wages must be paid according to contracts and laws; raises, loans, and bonuses all require written documentation
Wages must be paid on time and in full per contract and law. If wages are owed, the employee can ask a court for a payment order. Oral promises on raises, bonuses, or advances lose in a dispute if you can't prove them. Money you lend an employee isn't forced into writing by law between natural persons, but write an IOU with amount, interest, and repayment date.

No expense is incurred. The contract clearly states the wage amount. Any raises, bonuses, advance payments, or loans must be documented with signed paperwork — no verbal promises are allowed. Employers must never pay wages out of their own pocket on behalf of the company. Even when dealing with acquaintances, this same rule must be followed.
A labor contract must specify how wages are paid and how social insurance is handled. The employer must pay wages timely and in full per the contract and state rules. Unpaid wages allow a direct application for a court payment order. An owner lending personal money to an employee is a loan contract. The Civil Code says: «A loan contract shall be in writing, except where natural persons agree otherwise.» An owner lending to an employee is exactly a loan between two natural persons—the law does not force writing. Contract content «generally includes loan type, currency, purpose, amount, interest rate, term, and repayment method.» Writing an IOU covering those items is the author's advice. Oral bonus promises without paper leave the party without evidence at a disadvantage (nationwide).

Once informal favors become habitual practice, discontinuing them inevitably leads to disputes. Mixing personal loans with company finances risks exposing the lender to financial losses if the borrower defaults. The legal provisions referenced here have been verified; however, the recommendations are based on practical experience, which justifies the C rating.
