overpayment of salary nhs want it back

[Leese]

Sounds like he needs to get the union involved again. Anyway, I can't promise anything but I'll see if I can find some info for you. The company I work for has a forum for members and these questions are asked all of the time..it's an HR Institute.

How come 51,000 NHS staff who got pension overpayments were not asked to pay the money back yet current staff who were overpaid are expected to return the extra cash??? Work out what you can afford to pay as payroll/HR must in cases of financial hardship try to come to a reasonable arrangement before resorting to courts etc.

I too work for the NHS,and can safely say that payroll are incompetant eejits!!!

Put your offer in writing, stating reasons why and it should be accepted.

As long as you're prepared to repay the money, your employer cannot put you under undue hardship.

I would definitely be in contact with his union asap.
