Payroll Errors. To ensure that system or other errors which affect an employee’s pay are processed in an efficient and effective manner, the City shall notify the affected employee(s) as soon as practicable. Payroll errors detected by an employee shall, as soon as practicable, be communicated to the employee’s Departmental Payroll Clerk. In the case of under payments, the Payroll Clerk shall submit the appropriate adjustments as soon as practicable. Payroll errors identified by the Auditor will be communicated to the employee either directly by Auditor staff or through the Departmental Payroll Clerk. Under payments will be processed as soon as practicable. In the event of an overpayment, the Auditor's Office will determine a reasonable repayment schedule and inform the employee of the schedule directly, or through the Department Payroll Clerk. The affected employee shall be given an opportunity to discuss the schedule of repayment and, if necessary, to request an adjustment to the repayment schedule as a needed and reasonable accommodation. Factors considered in determining a reasonable accommodation for repayment of wages include, but are not limited to, the length of time the overpayment has occurred, the amount of the overpayment, the employee’s normal salary, and other financial obligations of the employee. The City and the Union agree that the City is authorized to recover any salary overpayment made to the employee from the employee’s wages. In the event that (1) the employee does not respond within ten (10) working days of being notified of the overpayment, or (2) mutual agreement on the repayment schedule is not achieved within twenty (20) working days of the employee being notified of the overpayment, the Auditor's Office will proceed to implement a reasonable repayment schedule. Generally, overpayment shall be recaptured at least at the rate at which the overpayment occurred. Overpayment shall not be recaptured at a more rapid rate than the rate at which the overpayment occurred, except (1) by permission of the affected employee, or (2) if the repayment amount per pay period would otherwise be less than five percent (5%) of gross base salary each pay period, or, (3) the overpayment was of $99 or less, in which case it must be recouped in one lump sum. However, should an employee with a repayment schedule leave the employ of the City before repaying the City the full amount of any overpayment, the outstanding debt shall be deducted from any salary and leave balances for which the employee would otherwise be paid upon separating from the City. Where an employee requests and the City concludes that s/he has justified a modified repayment schedule, the City may, in its sole discretion, permit exceptions to these standards. The City and the Union agree that the City is authorized to recover any salary overpayment made to the employee from the employee’s wages, except that the City shall not attempt to recover overpayments which are barred by a four year statute of limitations in a court action for their recovery. However, once a repayment schedule is implemented, the City will retain the right to recover the full amount of the overpayments covered by the schedule, and the limitations period for those overpayments shall be tolled for the duration of the repayment schedule. Nothing in this policy shall prevent the City from taking such other or additional action, such as a lawsuit, as is appropriate and necessary to recover overpayments to employees. 18.1 Fees & Licenses
