  • Salary overpayment and underpayments

    The last few months my employer has underpaid my salary by varying amounts and missed off expenses owed.

    When I bring this to their attention, the admit the mistake then say "we have added the missed payment into next months payment run" so I am essentially waiting another month for the money owed.

    I am currently waiting for them to get back to me about missing expenses. Their and my expense report state I should have been paid 'X' but they paid 'Y'. It has been 3 weeks and I am being stonewalled with " The person dealing with it is on annual leave"

    Friday rolls around and they claim they have overpaid my salary this month and have asked that I transfer the overpayment back ASAP. However I have not seen any reports to suggest an overpayment and all they have done is amend the payslip to state "overpayment amendment" When the payslip was first issued I even alerted them to the amount seeming incorrect, but they haven't responded other than sending a generic email to everyone affected asking for the money back. I suspect some jobs completed have been overpaid and others haven't been paid as the total amount is incorrect regardless of keeping/deducting the overpay

    I have no issues returning any money, however I have requested an update to the expenses issue and a report of what I have / haven't been paid for... I am paid per job I complete so the amount per month can drastically vary.

    Is there anything I need to be aware of or that I may have missed?

    If the company is stating that they have overpaid you then they need to set out, in writing to you, exactly how they calculate that this has happened.

    So if you have requested this from your employer together with details of your expenses payment issues that is the correct starting point for you. You will then have to see what explanation they come back with and see whether you agree with it or not.
