What do i do if i got overpaid on my last month of working somewhere?
2 months ago i worked in a factory a few miles away from where i live. I worked there for approximatly 7 months maybe 8. I had left the job to persue a career in IT. The month i left i got over paid £208. The company called me about a week after i got paid and let me know that i could work this money off-but as i was working full time i couldnt do this. I got a letter through a couple of days ago saying i have to pay the money back within 7 days. heres a copy of the letter dated 29th October 2009 Dear *********** Further to my numerous discussions and messages regarding the overpayment of your wages due to your leaving before agreed date. I am formally requesting that you repay the money as the option to work it off has now lapsed. Therefore please send me a check for £208.00 being the total overpaid on your final wages. I look forward to recieving your payment within the next 7 days. Yours truly, ********* The catch in this is, there was never a contract signed by me or my employer and i just want to know if where i stand legally in this situation, I also worked there for 5 months tax free. there are many other problems that occured during me working there that fall under the Human Rights act. The reason i cant pay the money back is because I get paid 280 a week + tax and with that i need to pay 80 pounds rent a week and buy food and stuff i need. If anyone could help me i would be greatefull thank you
