If an employee is going out on Leave Without Pay, should a personnel action be done to stop payment(s)?
If known in advance of the payroll processing deadline an employee will be on leave without pay, a personnel action should be done to prevent overpayment. However, if the LOA situation arises during a pay period and is not known in advance, the LOA earnings code should be used in the TMS system and will be included in the exception file for the next pay period. Timing issues related to LOA and the lag in the TMS extract often lead to salary overpayments that require docking pay once an employee returns to work.
