Docked pay is a reduction in compensation for a specified dollar amount, number of hours, or number of days. It may be the result of time off without sufficient leave, unapproved leave, punitive reprimand, or other personnel matters. These payroll adjustments are processed by the Payroll Office upon receipt from the Division of Human Resources. The employee will be provided a meaningful opportunity to discuss the circumstances of any reduction in pay prior to a paycheck being reduced.
