An employee account is established by the Bursar’s office if an employee receives a parking citation or library fine at the University. This account is used to record employee charges and payments.

IV. Enforcement and Collection Procedures

A. State Employee Debt Collection Act (SEDCA)

In 1989 the General Assembly passed the State Employee Debt Collection Act (SEDCA).  This act promotes payment of a debt owed the State by an employee, through the threat of sanctions if the debt is not paid. The (SEDCA) requires that employees make full restitution of the amount owed to the state as a condition of employment or service.

The University submits the SEDCA report with all past due accounts to the Office of State Budget and Management semi-annually. The Office of State Budget and Management will notify the University which debtors are employed by the state and the state agency by which they are employed. The University sends a SEDCA letter to the debtor notifying them of their debt and SEDCA legislation. The debtor will have thirty days to respond to the SEDCA letter. If no response is received then the University will send the currently employing state agency a letter notifying them that the employee owes a debt to the University and requesting the state agency to garnish the wages of the employee.
