(That was going to be a FTFY but I can't figure out how to cross out a word which is mildly irritating so if someone could explain that would be great - thanks)

Originally posted by gandy666 View Posthi guys hope you can help with the following:
I worked with an umbrella for 3 weeks when I started my new contract. I gave them a weeks notice as required that I was leaving them to start operating under a limited company. I recieved the 3 weeks wages from them as expected. they promised me something like 85% take home, though it was actually more like 66%. usual umbrella fabrication.
My agent then began paying me as a vat registered limited company directly into my company bank account. All was well with the world.
The umbrella then paid me an extra week, even though I wasn't working with them any more. They paid this money before the agent paid them, even though the agent was not going to pay them as I had left the umbrella and gave them the required notice. the agent knew this, the umbrella knew this.
the umbrella then starts hassling the agent looking for a wage to cover the weeks overpayment, and the agent informs them that no wage is coming as I am now working through my limited company.
the umbrella then writes a letter to me stating they have made an error and can they have their money back.
where do I stand legally?
thanks
If you've been underpaid, do you think it would be OK for the umbrella to say tough tulip!?

You can't get an ought from an is, and all that... but assuming you don't want to be a thief, then you ought to give it back

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.
