No, you aren't. Unless he was on contract for the year, the salary for the rest of the year won't be paid in full if the employee leaves or is fired, for example.
A loan is the opposite.

* EVEN IF he has a contract for the year, there would still be 1001 things that might happen between then and now that mean he isn't actually due payment (company bankruptcy, his death etc). That's why he cannot keep the money.
* And that is exactly the same position that Revlon\Brigade are in: Brigade are no more SURE they will get paid or that Revlon will even be legally required to pay them...
I undoubtedly owe my mortgage lender for the full amount of the loan on my house. I can choose whether to just pay the monthly payment, or I can pay more at any time, up to the full outstanding principal. If I send my lender a bigger check, they’ll gladly cash it and apply it to the principal, and I don’t think I’d have any luck in asking for the money back. It’s implicit with most loans that the borrower can pre-pay ahead of the payment schedule at any time.
For my salary, my employer’s obligation is only for the past two weeks of work. Any overpayment on their part would be due back to them immediately.
