ACR is an accounting abbreviation that an employer may use for a payroll recovery. Accounts receivable describes money owed to an organisation; it is not a universal employee deduction.
Employer-specific label: this is a possible interpretation. Confirm the full meaning in the codebook for the employer that issued your statement.
How to read this entry
Use the possible interpretation Accounts receivable or internal recovery alongside the column heading. An earnings amount, an employee deduction and an employer-cost memo can have different effects even when their labels look similar.
Example on a pay statement
A $40 recovery could relate to a documented overpayment or another account. The code alone does not identify the debt.
Examples illustrate the checking method. They are not a personal tax calculation or a promise of a particular benefit.
What to check with payroll
Request the debt description, original transaction and deduction authority before accepting the balance.
