An encumbrance is an estimate of the salary and benefit expense which will occur for the future. Salary and benefit expense encumbrances are generated semi-monthly. Negative encumbrances (liquidations) reverse the prior semi-monthly period encumbrance by changing (reversing) the sign. Encumbrances are only generated for salaried appointments.
Any lien is an encumbrance, but not all encumbrances are liens. Liens always represent a monetary interest. Encumbrances are not necessarily monetary, but they also include property use restrictions or easements. Encumbrances can be any interest in the property of another person that burdens or reduces the property's value or clear title.
