Overpayment Procedure

1. Call Payroll immediately with detailed information (1.2700)
2. Call the Employee and let them know what happened and that Payroll will be contacting them in regards to a payment plan.
3. If the Overpayment was from the current year then a deduction can be taken from their pay and taxes and retirement can be credited back to them. If the overpay was from a prior year or they are no longer employed than they will have to pay UNC Payroll by Check.  Payroll will work out a payment plan.
4. State laws and fiscal rule 2-8.02 require that the University recover any inadvertent or erroneous wage payments made to an employee. Please note that after 90 days this is turned over to State Collections.
