Overpayments

25.1   If an employee is paid for work not subsequently performed or is otherwise overpaid, the Employer will, after consultation with the employee, make adjustments to the employee's subsequent fortnightly salary payments.

25.2   Overpayments will be recovered at a rate agreed between the University and the employee. The rate shall not be less than the rate at which it was overpaid or 10% of the employee’s fortnightly salary, whichever is the lesser amount per pay period. Provided that on application to the Director Human Resources the amount of repayment may be varied for reasons of financial hardship.

25.3   Provided where an employee ceases employment, any overpayment will be recovered from any monies due at cessation. This does not preclude the University’s legal right to pursue recovery of any outstanding monies.
