Payroll Mistakes Policy

If you feel there is an error in your payroll rate, calculation methods, or any other aspect of benefits, vacation, etc. you must immediately bring this concern to the payroll department. If you wait, you will make it more difficult to address the issues if legitimate.

If the Company identifies an overpayment made to you in error, any recovery of that overpayment will be handled in accordance with applicable state law, which in many states requires your written authorization and/or limits the amount that may be deducted from a single paycheck.

General information, not legal advice. Treat this as a drafting starting point, not a finished policy — employment law varies by jurisdiction and changes often, so have a licensed attorney tailor it to your situation before you rely on it.
