Negative Pay - Explained

Modified on Tue, 07 May 2024 at 02:53 PM

Negative pay occurs when an employees deductions exceed earnings.  In this circumstance the employee actually owes the organization and the organization needs to recover the net amount from the employee. 


Since this is generally not a practical option the system automatically advances an amount to the employee, a Negative Pay amount, to cover the deficit, leaving a NIL Net Pay Amount.  The amount advanced  is recovered automatically in subsequent period/s using a Negative Pay recovery code.
