wrong pay

[wigglywoo12]

hi folks
just discovered ive been paid wrong for 3 and a half years i never looked into this before as i just thought that wage office did my hours correct basically ive been missing 12mins a week for 3 and a half years which works out at about £400 got my dom to speak to payroll about it and he has told me he dosent think i will get it back and if i do it will only be a fraction because 1)he said i may be told i should have said something earlier which i would have done if i thought there was a problem!!! 2) he thinks there is a six month cap on incorrect payments working both ways i.e overpayment and underpayment anyone know where i stand on this

thankyou

I don't think there is a 6 month cap on under/overpayments,
and if it was due to you it should be paid however far back it goes.

your dom is talking out of his anal passage.if it was the other way round they would want it back.

[NumptyBumpty]

You should get it back no problem. It is probably your manager's mistake so it'll rightly come out of his budget.

Read the bottom of your pay slip, tells you there..

[wigglywoo12]

it wasnt my current doms mistake it was the mistake of a former dom. so is that how it works any cockups come from from the budget if it is payable

[wigglywoo12]

ohhhhhhhhhh yes just read wage slip dosent say anything about a six month cap

[wigglywoo12]

so could the budget thing be related to this at all http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 15&t=22725" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; as i have had to go to stage 1 greivence as nothing as been done union rep thinks i should get this too.

[wigglywoo12]

to be quite honest ive worked out that with the 2 screw ups together im owed over £1000 best of it is im part time

[NumptyBumpty]

There definitely isn't a 6 month limit on reclaiming overpayments, so I would guess the same applies to underpayments. I've never heard of a 6 month limit of underpayments either. If a manager agreed to write-off an overpayment (which does happen) then it will be out of their budget for their office. The same applies to underpayment, it's got to come out of someone's budget. If it's HR's fault then it would come out of ours.

thanks numpty

i asked payroll myself about this and they said the same thing when i told my dom he said hed put in the form. now i have to wait a week for a response and that he was sure it was capped at six months and also said a story about a postie that had been overpaid by a couple of years and that rm only took back six months worth of it.
