Been paid this month even though I've not worked for 2 month.

[DanTheMan]

Just got paid a full month's wages today even though I've not worked since August 5th. It's roughly £1000, reckon they will notice?

 

[Skull]

Yes and its your legal duty to return the money once you've noticed.

 

[Darkwave]

Can you afford to pay it back if you spend it and they do notice?

 

[JodieO]

Just tell them, better to be honest.

 

[DanTheMan]

Can you afford to pay it back if you spend it and they do notice?

I can. I've got about ~2.5k saved for a car, was going to spend around ~500 on a HDTV but I'm now thinking of getting a decent 42" for slightly more and risking it. I doubt it will be in my bank for long though, I'll most probably give it a week.

 

[UFX]

Sit on it until around xmas, if they dont notice by then SPEND IT

 

[JodieO]

If it's not your money then it's effectively stealing.

Bank error in your favour, collect £1000...

 

[DanTheMan]

Thing is, I'm not sure if I'm acutally owed it as where I worked we were effectively always a month behind when it came to wages. I'll just hope and pray .

 

[L0rdMike]

Just keep hold of it till they ask.

 

[Una]

Just move it to your savings account for a bit, till they notice.

 

[dobbsy]

stick it all on RED

If you can afford to pay it back then you might as well keep/spend it until they ask for it.

If they never ask for it, win-win.

Just move it to your savings account for a bit, till they notice.

I like this idea too, consider the interest a gift for keeping it warm for them.

Or call and ask them...

Why is it ok to keep money that isn't yours? Those saying keep it I assume you'd be ok with people stealing from a shop or your home too then?

 

[Slogan]

It'll most likely be corrected by the end of today.

Got £50 by accident, was fixed under 'bank error' the same night.

I'm just wishful thinking really. 1k to a company that returns 9 billion in profit per year is not much but 1k to a college student is quit a lot .

I know what you mean but it's still money that's not yours

 

[Hostile_18]

....In summary keep the money! I know I would. Its not the end of the world if they ask for it back just say you didn't notice.

 

[Cob]

Were you due any holiday pay?

 

[sbi5ar]

this happened to me (about £500) and i spent it all..... then they asked for it back, was alright tho cos i could pay it back in monthly installments
