Payroll made a big mistake

pjread

Oh my mistake I missed it was that far back.... but surely it needs to be sorted within the tax year to avoid excess liability if the p60 is wrong...?

It shouldn't be rocket science to calculate at least the correct gross surely?

Also surely it's in the employers interest to resolve so they don't over-pay NI too

antrobus, my husband has been asking for this pay slip since May 2014.

There has been no letter. The figure was given by email:

"[FONT=&quot]The details of the overpayment are: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]The gross overpayment is £20,504.10 [/FONT][FONT=&quot]([/FONT][FONT=&quot]£22,782.34 (£273,388 /12) – £2,278.24 (£27,338 / 12)[/FONT][FONT=&quot])[/FONT][FONT=&quot],[/FONT][FONT=&quot]while the net overpayment is £11,478.97."

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]That's it. We don't think that's the equivalent of a pay slip. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]

well you won't get a revised payslip for that month as you were paid that much and had those deductions.

What they could do is a correction in March - take off the £11,000 gross overpayment and let everything else work itself out (tax/NI etc). Then you repay them that amount and the tax is correct (at least PAYE is, I don't know 100% how you fix wrong NI in a month)

I'd tell them your keeping any extra pension payments they have made on your behalf or heathcare .

That's the point, though. No one knows - or can work out - what the overpayment is. It's approx £11k. His employer says it's £11.4k. My husband says it's £10.6k.

but doesn't the pay slip show all items that make up the gross and you can tell one is wrong? (the letter above seems to make it clear its just the gross basic figure that was wrong by a factor of 10)

Its only the gross overpayment they have to agree, then the net amounts can all be worked out by the payroll company. I'd be happy to go with their figures assuming they have not changed anything else like bens/overtime.

And when he does his tax return, any final differences will be sorted anyway.

I don't understand.

I assume from this that the annual salary is £27338 but 1/12 of £273388 was actually paid. As I said cannot really put a figure on the underpayment from this limited information but would be interesting to see how the £10600 owing was arrived at. On the very limited details so far £10600 and £11478.97 both seem a bit low but with more details this may change.

what percentage is his pension?

Should be able to give an approximate calculation knowing the pension percentage.

Chrisbur, if you think both figures are low, then it is difficult to take you seriously.

I might be happy to divulge details, provided you are a professional.

I've no idea. Is it relevant?

Do bear in mind that it's the same every month.
