Remuneration Errors

Protocol for Repayment of Monies as a Result of Remuneration Errors. This is the guideline for when staff are over or underpaid.

The overpayment form facilitates this process and ensures that the above protocol is followed. The overpayment form can be found here: Overpayment Form
