 Arrears are payments made for an earlier period when an amount was not paid or when a salary or compensation change is applied retrospectively. They may arise from salary revisions, backdated increments, payroll corrections, or revised allowances.

Definitions are general guidance. Your organisation's policies and applicable local requirements determine how a term is used in practice.
