Payslip missmatch bank payment

Hi all,

I have just received a letter at work, stating that we have been overpayed as a mistake on our payslip. Even though I do not believe this to be correct. It also states that the wages being paid into my account will reflect my payment after the ‘correction’. Which means it will not match my payslip. Is this allowed? I thought they couldn’t pay a different amount to the payslip for tax purposes etc. Can anyone shine a light on this please?

    Ask them for the revised corrected payslip.

    You should receive your payslip at or before the time you are paid but organisations use human beings who run payroll and sometimes they make mistakes.

    Well we have received our pay slip but also a letter the day after. I!!!8217;m just wondering as this could affect things like my student loan as they take money based on how much I earn each month

    But have you received the pay into your account?

    If they have been able to calculate the correct amount to pay into your account they should have re-run payroll so that the student loan repayment would also have been recalculated.
