bare with me this is long ad complicated.
OH started working for this company 3 years ago, he was offered a contract of 24 hours. he signed and returned this, but before actually starting they told him the hours he had been offered did not exist, so changed it to 21 hours. this as a verbal agreement, he received nothing in writing.
not long later 2 hours of overtime became available, which he agreed to do, and has been doing ever week since offered. january this year they agreed to make it official and contract these hours to him. i immediately informed the benefits dept in the change of in his hours, them going from 21 to 25 to 24. because he has not had this in writing and i am unable to provide written proof, our hb and ctb has been suspended, which already puts us in a difficult position this month.
oh then contacts hr last week to ask for a letter stating the change in hours, to which they respond they cant as far as they are are he has always worked 23 hours.
now ever week, oh is required to fill i a time sheet, stating his contracted hours, and any over time. he has for 3 years always put in 21 hours contracted and 2 hours overtime, plus any additional overtime.
his annual leave has always been worked out on the 21 hours as well.
the issue seems to be that when he started and his hours ere amended his manager, did not inform hr of the change.
another point is that it appears they have not been checking his time sheet down at payroll, or they would have spotted the difference immediately. and this wouldnt have gone on 3 years
also they have not provided us of any proof of the over payment, or any calculations explaining the payment. they also told his manager that he owes just over £4000 and they would like £100 a month back. this isnt doable, we have a 2 year old boy, and are already spending more that we get on just the bare essentials of day to day life, we dont ever have any money to spare at the end of the month.
finally, since it as there error, can they legally ask for him to pay back the entire amount, or can they only claim back for so many years?
if anyone has anything the can suggest or has been in asimilar situation please share your experience. im waiting for cab to contact me with an appointment, but cant just sit around until then.
this is stressing us both out so much and we are constantly snapping at each other.
