Today we received - on headed notepaper- a letter from our employer detailing our pay rise from 1/4/14. My friend's letter had an error - instead of
"your new rate of pay will be #7.88 per hour for the first 40 hours and #11.82 for overtime"
his said "your new rate of pay will be #19100pa for the first 40 hours..."
Does this form a contract ? Do they have to now pay him 19k pa or can they just say it was an error ?
And , as we do the same job , can I claim 19k if he gets it ?

I suspect you already know the answer to this one.
However for clarity if you want legal advice then it is probably best to engage a lawyer, this is a forum for discussion and nothing said here would cover you in any court case.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Your friend should just contact HR, let them know about the error, get an apology & a new letter & move on.I don't respond to stupid so that's why I am ignoring you.
