Payroll - recovering over payment to an employee

claire-craig

Good afternoon everyone,

Hoping someone could help me out, I'm looking advice as I know this isn't a problem with Opera3 but with how an overpayment to an employee is being recovered in the payroll.

Customer uses the Advanced Nominal and the "Project" dimension which is then assigned to the employee records.
They have a "Deduction" profile to recover an overpayment made to the employee which is set to go to an "Expense" nominal code and when the nominal analysis report in Payroll is produced it will not assign the Project dimension on the employee record, which I believe Opera3 is handling this correctly as deductions are treated as liabilities.

Is there anyone that has come across this before and could you give me some advice as I'm sure there are implications with Tax and NI etc.,.

Regards
Claire

Hi Claire,

I setup a new payroll recently with advanced nominal dimensions and also had issues. I actually logged an enhancement request for the nominal masking area to be updated to include NL projects/departments as this would've solved my problem. In the end we heavily customised the NL Analysis report to get it to print the advanced dimension code as well.

The only suggestion I have in your scenario is don't use a deduction profile for this purpose. Can they not put through the overpayment via a payment profile but entering the value as a negative?

Kind regards,

Alex
