Process Step ID

Process Step Title

Description of Process

1

Discover Overpayment

Agency Payroll Processor will identify overpayments in the source HRIS. An overpayment may be identified to a correction made to data in the source Human Resource Information System (HRIS).


2

Calculate Net Overpayment

Agency Payroll Processor will calculate the net overpayment amount owed by the employee.


3

Notify Employee of Net Overpayment

Agency Payroll Processor will be responsible for generating letters to notify employees who were overpaid. Agencies will also work with the employee on re-payment options.


After working with the employee on re-payment options, the next step is to collect the overpayment. If the employee chooses to repay via payroll deduction, continue to step 4.


If the employee chooses to repay via personal check, continue to step 6.


4

Inbound Deduction File (PRI006)

The HRIS will send deduction records in the Inbound Deduction File (PRI006) for the overpayment amount to be recovered from the employee.


5

Load Overpayment Deduction

The system will load deductions from the Inbound Deduction File to the paysheet, which will be processed in the next available payroll.


After payroll has run, follow the process described in 100.7.3 Process Redistributions if accounting redistributions need to be performed for the overpayment recovery (Code 200) deduction.


6

Receives Personal Check

Agency Payroll Processor will receive the employee’s personal check and deposit the check following the process referenced in 60.2 Deposit and Apply Receipts.


7

Submit Overpayment for Approval

Agency Payroll Processor will submit a request to record the recovered overpayment in Florida PALM. Once approved, this step will create an adjustment to the employee’s earning, deduction, tax, and retirement records.


Once payroll is confirmed, the system will update employee balances for end-of-period reporting and will report adjustments to FRS eligible earnings and contributions accordingly.


8

Overpayment Notification Sent

The system will send Overpayment Notification to Agency Payroll Approver after Agency Payroll Processor records and submits the Recovered Overpayment for approval.


9

Review Overpayment for Approval

The Agency Payroll Approver will review recovered overpayment and verify that the total overpayment has been collected. If the Overpayment Recovery is approved, the adjustment will be processed in 100.4.1 Off-Cycle Payroll. If the Overpayment Recovery is not approved, continue to step 10.


In the event the Agency Payroll Approver is unavailable, the processor should contact BOSP to approve on their behalf.


10

Overpayment Notification Sent

The system will send Overpayment Denial Notification to Agency Payroll Processor if the Overpayment Recovery Request is denied.

Accounting Events

Accounting events originate during transaction processing in the applicable source module. The accounting events impact the source module, Commitment Control ledgers, and the General ledger (Actuals).

  • Source Module accounting entries require user input (U) of the primary line (i.e., expenditure, revenues) with an automated system (S) offsetting line (i.e., payable, receivable) during transaction entry. The source model transaction must pass Edit Check, Budget Check, and Cash Check (on applicable entries) prior to posting the transaction.
  • The Run Budget Check (Commitment Control) process automatically affects balances in the appropriate budget ledger (i.e., appropriation, spendable cash) if the transaction passes the budget check process.
  • After the transaction is posted in the source module, an automated system process summarizes and posts the entries in the General Ledger module to the Actuals Ledger.

The table below provides the most common accounting events applicable to this business process.
