PAO 8-3

Section: ACCOUNTING AND REMITTANCE
Subsection: MANUAL GROSS TO NET OVERPAYMENTS

  OUTLINE
  When an account is in Temporary Struck Off Strength (T-SOS) status in excess of two years and an overpayment is detected, the Regional Pay System (RPS) cannot process a Gross to Net overpayment as no earnings information is resident on the master file. The overpayment must then be calculated manually by the pay clerk and deductions must be reversed. The T4 must also be adjusted manually.
 

Once Department 079 is Financial Information Strategy (FIS) compliant, the PAO will no longer be able to process journal vouchers (JV) on behalf of the client department. Adjustments will be required to the Payroll System General Ledger (PSGL) for the client department and for Department 079. In addition to the PSGL, the client department must adjust their Departmental Financial Management System (DFMS) in order for their trial balance to properly reflect the adjusted overpayment.

PROCEDURES
CS Accounting Advisor
 
  • DEBIT the applicable deduction accounts within Department 079 for the total amount of the recovered deductions and sent to client department via Interdepartmental Settlement (IS) requisition.
 
  • CREDIT Payroll Control Account for the client department sub-ledger with the total value of Department 079 deductions recovered. REFER to IS for information.
 
  • PROVIDE client department with an advice notice to make adjustments within its own DFMS to reflect the revised overpayment amount. The transactions which must be completed by the client department are as follows:
 
  • CREDIT salary expense account (entitlement 001);
 
  • DEBIT overpayment account (entitlement 406).
  NOTE: Refer also to section 9-4 of the PAO manual for further information concerning Department 079 Control Accounts.
