Common use of Payroll Audit Clause in Contracts

Payroll Audit. Employees may request a payroll audit of their previous thirty-six (36) months’ of wage payments to determine if an erroneous under or over payment has been made. If an error is discovered pursuant to an employee request or a City-initiated review, the City will provide written notice informing the employee of the error. The City will correct any underpayment within thirty (30) calendar days of its discovery. The City will follow the procedures described in RCW 49.48.200 to recover any overpayment. Except in cases of alleged employee fraud, any under or over payments will be considered waived for those payments made more than thirty-six (36) months prior to the date of the City’s written notice describing the error to the employee.
