    How can anybody be underpaid for 3 yerars before they notice?

    Lack of clarity/ ambiguity around pay rates.
    Don’t be a can’t, be a can.

    More often than not, never checking their payslip! I came across one of these a couple of months ago, underpaid by £3k a year! Admittedly, on a high salary to start off but he'd never once looked at a payslip! Just like people don't read contacts before they sign them!

    Why would anyone take a job if they were unsure about their pay and pay structure? :eek:

    Because they have absolutely no idea how to convert something into a monthly reality. No idea how much they will be paying in tax & NI. No idea that a pension payment may change their take home pay. Put it another way - many people are financially illiterate. Not in the sense of actually getting into debt but the more basic stuff of making sure they are getting value for money. Read on the energy forum how many people think that paying the DD the supplier says is the fixed price they signed up to, when actually it is the price per Kwh & the standing charge which is fixed.

    It is becoming almost an epidemic, caused in the main by people not paying attention & expecting it will all be alright & leaving it to someone else who they are sure will get it right.

    ETA sorry folks rant over!

    the mistake is partially your own?

    It's not his mistake, it's the employers. He just didn't notice it.
