I got my first paycheque from my new job today and after a quick glance at it I thought they had made a clerical error in my favour.
After working it out though they have got it right it was just my brain playing tricks on me..
this got me to thinking of 2 theoretical questions..
1. If the company you worked for made a minor error in your favour on your payslip ( ie paid you a full months salary when you only started 3 weeks ago ), would you tell them or keep quiet?
2, If the company made a major error in your favour ( ie decimal place in the wrong spot, causing you to be paid say £10,000 a month instead of £1,000 a month ) and didn't catch it for a few months, are you legally obligated to return the money or can they reclaim it by law etc?
