Advance payments received by a staff member from the Organization that are authorized under the UN Staff Regulations and Staff Rules and relevant policies;
Monthly payments: Monthly earnings of a staff member less payroll deductions, excluding those deductions made at the request of the staff member for payment to the United Federal Credit Union (UNFCU) or a similar institution.
Overpayments: Payments made by the Organization to a staff member in excess of his/her salary, benefits and entitlements under the UN Staff Regulations and Staff Rules and relevant policies;
An overpayment that creates a debt to the Organization on the part of the staff member will normally be recovered immediately by means of deductions from salaries, wages, and other emoluments payable under the UN Staff Regulations and UN Staff Rules. However, the HR Specialist or the Resident Representative, as the case may be, may agree with the staff member who has received overpayments on: a) Alternative means of repaying the amount due, such as payment by bank transfer, bank cheque or personal cheque from the staff member; or b) Recovery in monthly instalments subject to the contract expiry date of the staff member; or c) Other methods of recovery at the disposal of the Organization.
A staff member who has not received an allowance, grant, or other payment to which he/she is entitled, does not receive it retroactively unless a written claim has been made within one year following the date on which the staff member would have been entitled to such payment.
