If an employee has been overpaid, please contact the Payroll Office at (662)325-2602 or email payroll@controller.msstate.edu as soon as possible to report the overpayment. Payroll staff will review the situation and determine the amount owed, the cause of the overpayment, and the appropriate method for correction.

Depending on the circumstances, the adjustment may be processed through a future payroll deduction or charged to the employee's Account Receivable balance.

If a payroll payment must be reversed, the department should notify the employee not to spend funds issued in error. A corrected payment will be issued after the reversal has been completed and processed.

For assistance or questions regarding overpayment, please contact the Payroll Office directly.
