Payment after leaving job
Discussion
Quick one - not my issue and not sure of best answer - if someone leaves a job say 31st Oct. They receive their final pay all ok.
Then the month later their old employer sends them their pay as normal by accident.
Ex employee sends back the money no issue. However they then get a letter from old employer asking for additional money for tax and NI.
Thoughts? My opinion is that its up to the employer to sort that out on their next HMRC submission?
Cheers!

You are not misunderstanding and yes that's what I said. Up to the originator to sort out their own mess IMHO?
Entirely. In my experience, employers' payroll operations routinely need to square off items with HMRC after the fact/inadvertent errors. I'd be surprised if a month went by in most decent sized places without at least one correction. red_slr said:

Employers Payroll department must be completely incompetent if they’re asking OP’s mate to repay the statutory deductions. They can roll back the payroll, mark the employee as a leaver or on nil pay, and the re-run the payroll. This will correct the tax, Ees NI and Ers NI which means they wont overpay HMRC.Then the month later their old employer sends them their pay as normal by accident.

Absolutely. Employer's Payroll department are already in a pickle given that with RTI they have likely already transmitted the wrong data to HMRC so need to do a correction anyway. I also can't quite fathom from where the OP's mate is supposed to find the money for the statutory deductions.
Yep well I think we are all on the same page so they will be told to Foxtrot Oscar.
The funny thing is you would think this is a small employer but nope its a massive institution and they even put it in writing that they require thenet (edit meant gross) pay back.
Most odd.

The funny thing is you would think this is a small employer but nope its a massive institution and they even put it in writing that they require the net pay back.

But that’s right, though, it is the net pay which should be returned, i.e. the amount received, and not the gross amount.The funny thing is you would think this is a small employer but nope its a massive institution and they even put it in writing that they require the net pay back.

if they’re only asking for the “Net Pay” [which is correct by the way] they’re NOT asking for the tax and NI.The funny thing is you would think this is a small employer but nope its a massive institution and they even put it in writing that they require the net pay back.
