Payment

[Richie]

Hey,
I got fired a week ago and got paid 86euro this week (which i wasn't meant to get) I assumed it was for holiday pay. I normally got paid over 200. Can the company force me to give that back and what would happen if i didn't comply with them?After allit is their fault.

okay my sister has got this currently, she was "let go" from a job after only 2 shifts and they paid her for 3 months. she thought they were paying her what she was owed as her contract was cut short of what was advertised, but recently she's had letters from debt collectors saying next were taking her to court for this 100 quid she had taken without working for it.

i'd be extremely careful.

What?! :/
Didn't know that could happen but I'll remember that in case it ever happens to me, hopefully it won't.

yep she had an 8 week contract, they only ever gave her two shifts and then she got a letter saying she was let go. this was julyish time but they paid her until the end of september, she thought they were paying her contract out.

then like november time we got a letter from next ltd asking for the money back, and then a debt collector started hassling her. she's agreed to pay like £10 a week back i think cause she's only a student and they've added all these fines.

I'm glad everything turned out alright. That can be a tricky topic depending on the labour laws in your country.

Ooft. That's unlucky D:

Reminds me of that couple who got 5million or something stupid accidently put into the bank account, they took it all and left the country.

Eurg could've guessed it would be next... They only gave her 2 shifts? What the hell? I was a temp at next a few years ago on a temp contract and I was pretty much working everyday haha. Yeah though NEXT is a terrible company to work for.

Stupid thing to do, they'll likely be on the European police system now, so when they try to cross a border, bam!
