Employer says I owe hours

newish2this · 2017-06-08 21:24:28

Hi, I am asking for a friend. Basically, she is employed on 37.5 HRs a week and due to the way her shifts worked, she hasn't worked enough hours. Her manager is saying that she owes the company 70ish hours for under working over the last 3 years. My friend agrees that this is probably correct but (1) is there a time limit…

In which case if she has been paid for those missing 70 hours then the employer can claim the overpayment back.

Only if the contract has clauses to allow that.

The contractual hours are those that need paying even if there has been no work.
