Description

Department of Accounts; recovery of erroneous or improper payments to state employee.  Provides that when a state officer or employee receives compensation or payments in error that such officer or employee will not be liable for repayment if the recipient officer or employee was not at fault for the error and did not have actual knowledge of or could not have reasonably detected the error. The bill also authorizes the employer (i) to seek, with the approval of the Attorney General and Governor, compromise and settlement in the case of erroneous overpayments, and (ii) to use payroll deductions limited to 25 percent of disposal earnings to effect repayment. In addition, the bill requires the employer to waive any repayment that would cause hardship if it is determined that such improper payment occurred through no fault of the recipient officer or employee and such officer or employee  did not have actual knowledge of or could not have reasonably detected the error.
