Chaps,

I am writing on behalf of a friend who does not have access to computer!

He received a letter from his employer and state that they would deduct £50 from his wages this month.

The letter says :-

"DEDUCTION FROM SALARY"

I write to advise that following overpayment, and with your agreement, we have deducted £50 (gross) from your wages in May 2008"

My friend does not understand why he got overpayment - he checked his last payslip and the hours he worked was correct. What is the next steps ?

Thanks

T

Surely 1st step is to call payroll & ask them to explain

It sounds like he needs some questions answered such as:

Why do I owe you anything? (How much, when)
How did it happen? (e.g. whose fault, should he have reasonably have known)
How did I give you permission when I haven't been asked about it? (may have signed something when starting work such as a 'general' statement)
