Home > Pay Management > Job Aids > Create an Overload Payment
Use this Create an Overload Payment job aid to process Overload Payment Generator (OPAY) transactions. The Overload Payment Generator (OPAY) transaction is used to create overload or extra-duty payments for eligible employees, for an agreed upon recurring amount that spans a specific number of pay periods. When utilizing OPAY for a payment plan, the transaction must be dated to the day the plan is created and should not be backdated.
In order to ensure payments for employees are processed correctly, Human Resources and Payroll professionals need to ensure they are utilizing the correct codes when processing transactions.
Note: OPAY works while an employee is actively receiving paychecks. If the repayment schedule carries over after a separation, the current collections/receivables process should be followed.
Before you begin, make sure:
You have the employee ID for the individual you want to update.
The salary or compensation change has been officially approved.
You have reviewed the pay cycle calendar for the timing of the request.
