Employee Loan Program
Our hearts go out to all those impacted by COVID-19 outbreak. We are dedicated to promoting safety and health of our tribal communities. In response, we are launching Employee Loan for Nez Perce Tribal Government and Tribal Entity employees to help with debt consolidation or other needs from this uncertain time. We have seen the need to help Tribal members and Tribal employees remove themselves from the difficult cycle of high interest Payday loan institutions and debt accumulation. With the Employee Loan Program we will work with Tribal Payroll Departments to set up a reasonable pay-back plan through payroll deduction.
