overpaid at work

[stevewool]

what happens if you think you have been paid more then you think at work, you try to work it out with the hours you have done but cant make head or tails of it, but you are convinced you have been paid more

[stevie c]

Just keep schtum

[London_Manila]

Say nothing and tell them you never noticed it when/if they come looking for it

[lastlid]

Don't spend it though (yet) as if it is wrong then your company are within their rights to ask for it back.

[lastlid]

How much is it?

[bigmac]

post it to me--i will invest it on your behalf

[bigmarco]

Are you sure it is not a bonus or some profit share scheme that some employers give at the end of the year as I'm due b end of year bonus in my next pay packet

[stevewool]

cant work out really what it is, the only thing is, she is paid monthly and the last pay slip she had no contractable hours but now she has and thats what is added to the wage slip BASIC PAY, then all the rest is added overtime, saturday bonus sunday bonus, addistional bonus and so on

[stevie c]

Strange hard one to work out but if Steve if they they don't come asking then just keep laughing

[bigmac]

cant get over how much tax and nat insurance is taken but the pension contribution from the nhs is very nice £304

[lastlid]

I am getting quite a nice xmas bonus, just found out today. 20% tax though. It will cover a trip to the Phils.

[raynaputi]

I had the same problem at work when I was in the Philippines. They deposited more than what I was expecting for bonus. But after a week or two, the accounting department sent me an email telling me that they calculated my bonus wrong and they would just deduct the excess in four paydays..hahahaha

They will definately have it back if she works for the NHS. When they find out.

I will inform the finance department , I dont like keeping money that is not mine.

[nnomad]

put it in a high interest account then if you do have to pay it back you can at least keep the interest gained !!!!!!!

You dont have to tell me steve.. The ECO will have a headache when they check my payslips.

[fred]

It depends Steve..... If I was overpaid by a small company and I liked the people and management there I would declare the over payment...(always)
If I was overpaid by a small company and I disliked the people and management and working conditions and pay etc there,I would (and have before) screw them and laugh after a few months after the account department still did not discover the error.
If I was working for a Government office/dept and they overpaid me.I would do exactly what you have done and put the money aside..After that I would knock em!!
The UK has become a dog eat dog country and Honesty doesn't always pay these days IMO...
That said,if you or your Mrs feel guilty about it then declare it.... Its not worth the sleepless nights... Again.... Only IMO.

hmmm easy , i would inform someone who is incharge about it. we all know what's right and wrong.and when you have done the right thing, it's a good feeling afterwards.

Miss Ana... I totally respect yor opinion and once upon a time it was one that I shared... Since then I have been ripped off by so many companies of all different shapes and sizes that these days I have changed my opinion.
Continue to do what you believe is right...Then you cant go wrong,di ba?
