Overpayment Recovery Adjustment

Overpayment recovery adjustment is used to keep an employee from being overpaid. 

For overpayment done after the adjustment period has closed to campus:

  • Fill out the Employee Overpayment Recovery Form, found on the UHR website.
  • Email the complete form to payroll@umd.edu
  • Payroll Services will “Super User” an overpayment pay adjustment that will deduct the amount requested from the current pay period being processed.
  • The Pay Calculation screen is refreshed nightly and will reflect the Overpayment Recovery Pay Adjustment the next day.

For overpayment discovered prior to the close of the adjustment period:

  • The department's/unit’s payroll office/representative should process it as an overpayment recovery adjustment.
