A Honda factory in Ohio and a health system in Oregon recently faced the same dilemma, one that other employers have dealt with: how to handle overpayments to some of their employees. The two entities ultimately chose different routes.
Honda, which made the overpayment to an undisclosed number of its nearly 4,000 workers at an Ohio factory, sought recoupment of the overpaid bonuses.
St. Charles Health System, headquartered in Bend, Ore., initially sought repayment of overpayments, which in its case were due having to complete payroll by hand after the UKG hack, but dropped these demands after workers and unions objected. We've gathered articles on the news from SHRM Online and other media outlets.
Honda Company Memo and Statement
A company memo detailed options for employees to pay the excess money back. Honda will accept a lump sum, an installment plan spread across several future paychecks or a deduction from any future bonuses.
Honda issued the following statement: "Earlier this month Honda provided bonus payments to its associates, some of whom received overpayments. Issues related to compensation are a sensitive matter and we are working quickly on this item to minimize any potential impact to our associates. Since this is a personnel issue, we have no further information to provide related to this matter."
