LOP Reversal
When an employee's attendance is not recorded correctly—due to either a manual or technical issue—it may result in a Loss of Pay (LOP) for that day.
This typically happens when an employee is present but their attendance fails to be registered properly. Consequently, their salary for that day is deducted.
LOP Reversal refers to the process of correcting this error. When an employee’s attendance has been mistakenly marked as LOP, the employer needs to reverse this deduction to ensure the employee is reimbursed.
This adjustment is necessary to reflect the actual presence of the employee and restore the correct salary amount.
Key Points
- Identification: Errors in attendance that result in LOP are first identified.
- Reversal: The deduction is then reversed through a formal process.
- Reporting: An LOP Reversal report can be generated to document the correction.
Efficient handling of LOP Reversals ensures fairness and maintains trust in the payroll process.
