Viewing Arrearage Payments and Balances

The Arrearage Management utility gives you complete access to review employee arrearage payments and balances and the ability to perform direct edits to those amounts. The utility provides links to the Current Arrearage Lookup report and additional reports that allow you to review all arrearage adjustments.

Arrearage Management is available to all Payroll Function users and is individually assignable through Grant Access functional utilities.

An employee goes out on maternity leave and misses several paychecks, so her scheduled deductions go into arrears. Upon returning to work, the employee has a balance in arrears for the deductions she has missed for herself and then for her child she added to the plan. In order for the employee to pay back this entire amount in her first paycheck after returning from leave, you need to use the Arrearage Management facility to adjust the arrearage payment amount. Otherwise, the arrearage payment will be applied over several pay periods, using the first arrearage amount incurred by the employee (instead of the sum of all missed deductions).

To view arrearage payments and balances:

1.   On the Management Navigation Menu, click Wage & Tax > Payroll Management > Arrearage Management.

The Arrearage Management page displays, showing all employees that have a balance in arrears.

Note: An arrearage adjustment submitted after time clock submittal, but prior to final batch approval, will not be present in the batch results.  The payroll batch would need to first be re-opened to pull in the arrearage adjustment entered.
