Ive recently changed jobs, and my old employer keeps payin me. I only realised when i opened my statement this morning. Where do I stand, do I have to pay them back?
Cheers for any advice.....

are you sure this isnt for any holiday pay you are owed?
did you have to work a week in hand?

Not holiday pay, its exactly the same every month, i was on a salary so I was paid the same every month, and its the same amount. Any idea were I stand legally? thanks

just keep your mouth shut, if they ask for it give it back.

how did you not notice you either have lots of money in wich case just give it back? or you dont have much money in wich case you would notice surely?

to be honest, not really close enought to my statements etc. I know my income is far greater than my outgoings, so never really open statements/bank balance etc etc. When i open the one that arrived this morning, i checked back and its been goin on for last 3 months. Whats the best thing to do? keep my mouth closed, or tell them? Any idea on the legality of it?

u dont need to pay them back a thing when a left arnold clark they over payed me 2 weeks wages and sent me a letter saying they did so (chancing there luck) and telling me to get in touch to set up a way of paying them back but i just ignored it and they could,nt do a thing

if they overpay u its there fault . its like checking your change when u leave the shop if u dont do it at the counter u have,nt got a leg to stand on . hope this helps

legally you will have to give it back

but keep your mouth shut and hope they stop and you don't have to

or cough up and say "exciuse me, here is your money, please stop paying it into my account oterhwise i will treat it as my own and spend it"

enclose a cheque for the amount they've paid and if it carries on at least you've warned them

I had it 3 years ago, the company payed me after i left and they kept sending letters asking me to return the money in a cheque which i never did it was there mistake.
Then about 16 months later i got a thick envelope with their name on the front and i thought it was some sort of court summons. When i opened it i found it was an employment contract and the cover letter said something along the lines of " We are pleased to inform you that you have been successful and would like to offer you the position of *********** could you please fill in you sizes for the uniform and sign, return you contract of employment, What!!!!!! i rang them up (didn't want to get stung on tax or something) and said i haven't worked for you in 15 months but nothing was mentioned about the money and they blamed it all on inexperienced office staff.

legally you have to give it back; but i work for a large organisation and it really does depend on the company if they persue you for the monies they've paid you

i would pay what they are paying you into a seperate a/c and dont spend it.......if then one day they start threatning u with legal stuff at least you can give it back

you have to give it back i got hounded by a well known computer company for 2 years when they paid me for a few extra months after i left. there is a good info on the acas web site about it.
