Overpayments
Overpayments are usually created by late processing of amendments to salaries, allowances and leave records or incorrect transactions on HRMS. The common types of amendments/transactions that cause overpayments are:
- WorkCover
- Termination of employment
- Termination of allowances or incorrect allowances
- Time fraction changes
- Unpaid leave or late entry of leave
- Incorrect salary classifications
- Duplicated payments
All HRMS transactions should be undertaken, where possible, prior to the day of Pay Confirmation. This will ensure sufficient time to check the results of these transactions and take further action such as offsetting (Word - 694Kb) where necessary, thus preventing the needless generation of overpayments.
