Pay rise given too early??

Just a quick question.... I have been given a pay rise recently, but I had been told that it would take effect from beginning of June - just received my pay slip (we get paid next weds) and it appears my pay rise has gone through already.
If an employer gives a set amount on the pay slip do they have to stick to that amount does anyone know? Guess I just wanna know how likely it is I'll be able to keep the extra money/ all the info before I talk to HR about it!
Thanks!

No, they can claim back any overpayment for up to six years (five in Scotland).
Best to get it sorted!0 -
its quite clear what the rules are for the payment so yes they can claim it back. As above get on it asap.Don't trust a forum for advice. Get proper paid advice. Any advice given should always be checked0

As the others have already said you're best to get it sorted early on and don't keep quite like kenf2210 did for the last 3 years!!0

God yeah, what a nightmare situation he's ended up in! Emailed payroll and HR to let them know and they said it was all fine, no issue with the pay rise being applied early. Nice surprise for a Tuesday afternoon, plus I've got it in writing so I can relax about it. Awesome!
Thanks for your responses everyone.0 -
Glad you sorted it and the most important thing is that you have it in writing that there is no error.0

Don't know how much your payrise is due to be, but there was an increase in the personal tax allowance this month so most people got a bit extra for the first time this month - could this have been the increase you've seen?2.22kWp Solar PV system installed Oct 2010, Fronius IG20 Inverter, south facing (-5 deg), 30 degree pitch, no shadingEverything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the endMFW #4 OPs: 2018 £866.89, 2019 £1322.33, 2020 £1337.07

No, don't think it was to do with the tax allowance (it was quite a lot more than that - I know, lucky me!) but thanks for suggesting0 -
tax would have impact on the gross.0
