    They are probably trying to be clever and using a Payroll system to process your invoice instead of using Purchase Ledger software. For it to be exactly 30 minutes wrong, it couldn't have been a typo on the invoice value, suggesting they take your hours, put it into their system, and pay what it says, and not what your invoice says.

    if i tell them, which i dont mind, means i have the hassle of getting brookson to reprint and amend all my invoices - which means i have to readjust my pay etc. Brookson know of the error as they phone me up to say you have been overpaid. Agency remittance slip states the extra 1/2 hour.

    or should i just wait and let the agency contact me..then sort it.
    do be honest so busy right now dont need this extra stress.....as it will probably take me 10mins to go thro and tell brookson to reissue new invoice statement and me adjust my records etc....

    As long as you correctly account for it in your accounts you can just wait for the claim to be made in the future.
