Our Family Services

Working with The Free Loan has been a wonderful experience for Our Family Services. The staff have found the application process to be simple and stress-free. The ability for the staff to make payments via payroll deduction also alleviates significant stress. The staff are a pleasure to work with and treat our employees with dignity and respect. We are proud to have partnered with The Free Loan program to help our staff bridge the gap during challenging financial times.

Rachel Dorf
Human Resources Director, Handmaker

Handmaker has been fortunate to offer financial assistance through The Free Loan for years. Our valued employees have had the extra benefit of being able to apply for a loan during times of financial difficulties. This amazing benefit has allowed our employees to cover medical bills, housing issues, and unexpected car or childcare bills. Allowing our employees to pay the loan back over a period of time interest-free through payroll deductions has literally been a life saver. It has allowed employees to breathe and relieve stress in challenging times. Working with The Free Loan is easy and seamless. The Free Loan goes above and beyond to help out our employees and we hope to continue offering this extra benefit for years to come!

Once an employer agrees to be a part of Tucson Jewish Free Loan Employee Financial Assistance program, at no cost to the employer, a Free Loan representative will work with the Human Resource department to implement a quick and easy loan process.

The loan may be paid back early without penalty.

The loan is through Tucson Jewish Free Loan. The employer makes this program available on a voluntary basis. The loan process is confidential.

If employment should terminate for any reason, the full balance of the loan will be taken out within accordance with the wage and hour law from the final paycheck. The employee is ultimately responsible for repaying the loan after they leave the job. Employees must provide debit card at time of signing final loan paperwork with Tucson Jewish Free Loan representative. The employee will sign a waiver giving Tucson Jewish Free Loan permission to withdraw automatic monthly payments from debit card if employement is terminated to pay off the loan balance.

Each organization is granted up to two loan defaults. After two defaults (even if borrower is no longer with the organization), the program will be cancelled. The organization may pay off the loan balance to reinstate the program for their employees.
