Home Menu9.4 Wage Concerns
Employees are responsible to examine their pay for accuracy, and to promptly report any errors to their Division Manager. Occasionally, payroll errors result in over or underpayment of correct compensation. When an underpayment is identified, the correction will be paid in full to the effected employee as a lump sum in a regular payroll run. If the error has resulted in an overpayment of compensation, the employee will be responsible to return the overpayment to the City. This will be accomplished via payroll deduction, the amount of which will be equal payments spread over the same time period the payroll error occurred. Underpayments and overpayments will be processed up to a maximum of two years in accordance with Chapter 95.11(4), Florida Statute. Employees are expected to report errors in pay immediately.
