Overpayment of Salary Clause Samples
The Overpayment of Salary clause defines the employer's right to recover any salary payments made to an employee in excess of what is properly owed. Typically, this clause outlines the process for identifying overpayments, notifying the employee, and arranging for repayment, which may include deductions from future wages or agreed-upon repayment schedules. Its core function is to ensure that salary errors can be corrected efficiently, protecting the employer from financial loss while providing a clear procedure for resolution.

Overpayment of Salary. Where an employee is overpaid an amount of salary or benefits including allowances, the overpayment will be recovered in accordance with the provisions of ASADA’s Accountable Authority Instructions.

Overpayment of Salary. While employees receive 1/12th of their calculated annual salary every month, not every month includes 1/12th of the annual contracted workdays. For employees terminating during a school year this can result in an overpayment of wages. Our payroll department carefully calculates the pay status of each terminating employee. Any employee who has been overpaid at the time of termination will be contacted to arrange for repayment of the excess salary received.
Overpayment of Salary. In the event of an overpayment of salary, recovery of the overpayment will be made in accordance with the council’s Procedure for the Recovery of Overpaid Salary. In accepting your contract of employment, you are deemed to agree to a recovery of overpaid salary in accordance with the procedure. Where it is clear that an overpayment has been made, you must contact your line manager or submit a query through the IBC immediately to notify them. Failure to do so could result in disciplinary procedures.
Overpayment of Salary. (1) An overpayment occurs if the AFP provides an Employee with an amount of money to which the Employee was not entitled (including but not limited to salary, entitlements or allowances payable under this Agreement).
(2) An overpayment of salary does not occur where:
(a) an Employee initiates an adjustment or roster change; or
(b) there is a change or adjustment to travel payments or allowances payable under this Agreement as a result of changes to an Employee's travel plans.
(3) Where the AFP considers that an overpayment has occurred, the AFP will provide the Employee with notice in writing. The notice will provide details of the overpayment.
(4) If an Employee disagrees that there has been an overpayment including the amount of the overpayment, they will advise the AFP in writing within 28 calendar days of receiving the notice. In this event, no further action will be taken until the Employee’s response has been reviewed.
