Overpayment by employer

A question about : Overpayment by employer

I am a reservist currently on a six month mobilisation. So far, so good. There were no issues with the initial mobilisation other than the employer wanting me back as soon as possible, it's nice to be wanted.

However, contrary to the employers own guidelines, they have continued to pay me. I have been placing the money in a savings account and have attempted to contact them on a number of occasions, I have copies of my emails and texts.

They have not returned any messages and continue to pay me.

The thorny part is I am signed up to a deductible nursery scheme which saves me tax.

I am going to continue to try and contact them but my question is what happens to the at source deductible nursery credits. Am I liable to repay them as well?

Best answers:

• Whilst emails and texts are considered acceptable, is there any way you can write to them?
  sorry I cant answer your at source tax question, Im not well versed enough in tax law for that :/
• Hi Grum7630
  I've moved your post to the Employment board where hopefully someone can help as the CAB board is now closed to new questions I'm afraid.

• Hi
  wondering if someone can help.
  my partner has been made redundant, she was made redundant while being off on maternity leave,
  My Partner was being paid SMP she always planned on going back to work after 20 weeks. she was made redundant 1 day after the 20 weeks was up then had to return to work for 1 week notice period.
  we have received her last pay slip which they have paid her for the balance of 19 weeks SMP in one lump sum, one week after she left the company she has started a new job.
  my questions are
  1) why would her old company have paid her the balance of her SMP 19 weeks in a lump sum, when she was never been going to take it and was supposed to be returning to work after 20 weeks.
  2) now that she has started a new job at a new company will she have to pay back these "overpayment" of SMP? if so who would claim this back off us? her previous company or the government?
  any help would be most appreciated
  p.s we have not spent this money and do not intend on until this is resolved
