Gross Repayment
Gross Repayment
The easiest option for an active employee to repay is a gross repayment. Once the overpayment has been fully collected, the employees' taxes, appropriate deductions, and retirement impacts are automatically adjusted.
Total Gross
A onetime deduction of the gross overpayment from the employees’ wages. If chosen and the amount on the paycheck is less than the overpayment, all available funds will be deducted from subsequent paychecks until the overpayment is completed.
Installment Deductions
A repayment plan spread over multiple paychecks until the overpayment is fully repaid. This is determined by an agreement between the employee and the university. On average, employee’s select two to three paychecks to recover the amount. Further regulation can be found in individual bargaining agreements.
