Wage Overpayments – Prevention and Recovery
Hillsboro, OR, October 13, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Edupliance announces a webinar titled, “Wage Overpayments – Prevention and Recovery” that aims to analyze all types of employee overpayments, to handle overpayment and when overpayments may be recovered using payroll deduction and when payroll deduction may be limited by state or federal wage and hour laws or when employee consent is required. The event goes live on Wednesday, October 25, from 01:00 PM to 02:30 PM, Eastern Time.
Recovering wage overpayments can be a time-consuming and sometimes challenging process for payroll professionals. Accuracy is an essential element in the payroll process, but error-free payrolls are rare. A survey by Cyber Shift and the American Payroll Association found that 20 percent of employers reported error rates of 1 to 5 percent of payments during typical payroll processing. Recovery of an overpayment may also create reporting and recordkeeping issues related to taxes and fringe benefits. Use of improper or illegal recovery methods may lead to imposition of fines, penalties, or other sanctions on an employer. This webinar will give participants the tools to analyze all types of employee overpayments and when overpayments may be recovered using payroll deduction and when payroll deduction may be limited by state or federal wage and hour laws or when employee consent is required.
The 90-minute webinar will be conducted by Patrick Haggerty is a tax practitioner, author, and educator.
