No, I think you're fine there. We gave our housekeeper the money she needed for her mother's arrangements a few weeks before Christmas as a gift to her in lieu of the Christmas bonus. We also gave her a few paid days off this week. If your staff is planning to pay back the loan, you should deduct the amount of their Christmas bonus from the debt.
