Global Uptake: Uptake of Retroactive Overpayment and Recovery for Earnings Elements

In Canada, you can now control how Retropay results are handled. This is particularly important when the results reduce an employee's net pay. To lessen the impact on the employee's pay, you can offset the overpayment across multiple periods instead of automatically taking the full deduction in one period.  You can setup and track repayments by the employee until paid back in full, using the Recoveries calculation card.

For additional information, please refer to the Global Payroll: Oracle Fusion Cloud Payroll 25C What's New for Retroactive Overpayment and Recovery for Earnings Elements.

For information on the Overpayment Recovery report, please refer to the topic, How do I use the Overpayment Recovery report to manage retroactive recoveries that I have identified?.

Use Retroactive Overpayment and Recovery for elements for more control over how Retropay results are handled, particularly when the results reduce an employee's net pay. Rather than the overpayment automatically processed in full, you can now setup repayments for the employee.

Steps to Enable

To use this feature, you must configure the payroll action parameter, Overpayment Recovery Process Enabling the Over payment for Recovery Process.Default:N.

To change the payroll action parameter to Y:

  1. Navigate to Payroll Process Configuration.
  2. Search for Overpayment Recovery Process Enabling the Over payment for Recovery Process.Default:N.
  3. Set parameter default value to Y.

Note: Prerequisite steps to configure legislation for Human Resources (described in How do I set up Retroactive Overpayment and Recovery for Earnings Elements?) are not required, as they are already delivered for Canada.

Tips And Considerations

You must create new elements to use this feature. It is not available for existing elements.
