La. Admin. Code tit. 4 § III-703
Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 11, November 20, 2024
Section III-703 - IntroductionA. Overpayments occur when compensation that is not owed to the employee is paid in error. This includes but is not limited to overpayment of wages, annual leave paid in error, as well as, erroneous refunds of deductions. Unearned payments to employees are prohibited by Article 7, Section 14 of the Louisiana State Constitution which prohibits the donation of public funds. As a result, state agencies are required to make a reasonable effort to recoup overpayments to both active and separated employees. Agencies must also establish internal controls to prevent overpayments. State agencies are to develop specific policies regarding recoupment of overpayments incorporating these procedures into their policy.La. Admin. Code tit. 4, § III-703
