...When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible...
I had that at the end of my first year of employment back in 1980. A 13th months pay, then they stopped it the following year. It was an American company. I had actually forgotten about that until you just mentioned it.
Funnily enough, the same year they gave me a 1000 USD advance loan and never did ask for it back.
I agree with the general advice to put it in a seperate account and leave it there, until you find out whether its hers or not.
Last month my salary was deposited 5 times into my bank account, however 24 hours later the excess was transferred out of my account. (I don't think they can do that in the UK, but certainly here its possible).
Steve, I suggest you call the wages department and sort it out before they contact you, far better you contact them first because if the discover that they have made a mistake and take it back next pay day Em may not have anything next month, just my opinion Steve!!

"Re: Query about salary overpayment
I work for my Local Council payroll section, when informing your daughter of the overpayment they should give her a point of contact to arrange salary deductions that would be affordable to her, if she is no longer employed by them it is usually deducted from the final salary and any outstanding amount passed onto the debtors department to arrange payment.
I dealt with a similar case where an employee had been put onto the wrong rate of pay, there was no way they could have been able to detect this, Unison stepped in and the debt was written off. If your daughter is not a union member, it may be wise for her to join and get some advice as overpayments are not always clear cut and there MAY be the possibility of getting the amount reduced depending on the circumstances. Either way they will accept payment by installments from her salary, even if it takes years to repay."
