wage discrepancy

joebob

I am due to be made redundant soon and got a one to one meeting week after next. on checking my wages to try and work out my redundancy figures i realised i was been underpaid on checking with HR they admitted they had not increased my pay correctly when we had a pay rise  they owed me  £720 .  This was paid last month.  would i be able in my one to one meeting to ask for some sort of compensation due to loss of interest loss of pension payments and any other losses i may have occured.

You can ask, but why have you not asked HR? How long a period was this for as interest on £720 for two months for example is not a lot, same for pension contributions.

I have been on furlough since march so only been in touch by email was mentioned to me at weekend so was going to wait untill we had one to one .The period stretches back to march 2018.

It will amount to less than a quid...
Would you really ask for compensation cos you lost less than a quid.

how do you get to the figure of a quid  ?
my pension contribution is 4%  and companys 8%  so if they have not paid in contributions on the missing wage it must amount to more than a quid.

Did they not calculate pension contributions on the extra £720 when it was paid to you last month?

£86 is approx 12% of £720, so that's probably your 4% and their 8% pension contributions on the £720 they owed you. If that's the case you haven't lost out at all.
