HILLSBORO, Ore. - Aug. 10, 2018 - PRLog -- Edupliance announces webinar titled, "Handling Payroll Overpayments Correctly" attendees will discuss the issues that arise when an overpayment has been made. Speaker will address the requirements that should be followed to help the payroll department in establishing a proper policy on ways to handle overpayments in compliance with state and federal laws and regulation. The event goes LIVE on Thursday, Aug 16, from 1:00 PM to 02:30 PM, EST / 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM PST.
Employees can be overpaid in even the most well-managed payroll department. Yes, it could happen when mistakes are made; however, it is not always the outcome of an error. Maybe the employee got a sign-on bonus but had not stayed till the required time period. Perhaps the employee received a sign on bonus but did not stay for the required length of time. Whatever might be the reason, overpayments can and does happen and it should be handled carefully.

These advanced questions are also included in this webinar- What is required if the overpayment occurred this year? But what if it occurred in a previous tax year, does that change the rules? Are the rules different for federal income tax than they are for social security or Medicare taxes?
