overpayment by umbrella

[oracleslave]

I've changed my mind. Batcher's very serious response is right. Hopefully whoever made the mistake will get sacked too. That'll teach 'em.

the OP is he gets locked away for thievery

You're either a troll or a moron, I can't decide which.

go **** yourself

go **** yourself

I don't think that language is allowed in the professional forums.

go **** yourself

And that is exactly what you should tell the Brolly that overpaid you.

Do come back and let us know how you get on !!

what's the bets the brolly under paid the first payment due to the OP not submitting his p45.

Then the OP forgot to tell the brolly he was leaving..

and now wants someone to confirm its OK to keep the final over payment.

That's solved that question, a moronic troll is the answer.

Oh since he only did one assignment via the brolly any expenses he claimed won't be valid either

[TheFaQQer]

why should I - they made the mistake

You asked the question "where do I stand legally?"

Since Singleton J ruled in Hartog v Colin & Shields in 1939, this has been the case. If you think it's wrong, then you could always wait to be sued and then fight it to the appeal court and / or higher. But no-one has done it successfully to overturn that case in 75 years so I don't think you'll be very successful.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do, though.

<pedant>any travel and subsistence expenses won't be valid, but others may be</pedant>

You are legally required to pay back any overpayments as they were your employer.

However you can have some say over how you pay it back e.g. 5p a week for the next x amount of weeks.
