ADVICE NEEDED - payslip

[seanmlow]

hi

just finished working with a copy, and still waiting for my P45.

Was expecting a final slip with money owed for car security deposit etc, etc, and had payslip saying 'Payable by BACS - 237.28'. I called the bank and nothing has come out or in, and it doesn't say it is a demand for payment.

What the hell is it?!

Any help appreciated.

anyone?

Your message original post wasn't very clear. I think you should speak to the company/copy who owe you this money.

Do you mean what does BACS stand for?

If so, it is a bank to bank transfer (Bankers' Automated Clearing Service) the money usually takes 3 working days to arrive into the account.

does the "-237.28" represent a negative amount - is this what your questions relates to?

If so I doubt they can take money from your account by BACS.

If this is not your question I think you need to explain further.

Why not ring & ask payroll

[seanmlow]

it is a negative amount. that is what I don't get as they can't take money from me....

Hi sean, I know we've taken the mickey sometimes, but I'm sorry to hear you're leaving your company - did you get made redundant?

If they "accidentally" over paid you at some point or you owe them money (for an advance of any sort) they can take the money back although that should be clearly indicated on your payslip.

Just call the HR/finance department and get them to explain. It could be a miscalculation

thanks for your help guys.

Turns out they owed me a fair bit of money and it was a 'mistake'. No apology though!
