I was wondering if someone can help me here.

I get paid every four weeks, last Friday I was paid £294 short. Because its a lot to be short I said I'd rather not wait until the next four weeks comes round so they agreed to pay me by cheque, I'm aware that I would have had off takes, today I've received a cheque for £240, is £54 about the right amount? It seems a lot but at the same time I'm not sure how these things are worked out.

To add to the problems they've actually spelt my name wrong so I don't know if the bank will take it!

Assuming you are paid the same amount of pay every four weeks, when you take the £240 into account, have you now received what you would normally receive? If in doubt, ask your payroll department/wages clerk to explain it to you. If the spelling is a problem, take the cheque back and ask them to alter it or write a new one. You are entitled to your wages so don't feel shy about getting them to put it right!

I've been covering for people, I'm still owed hours from covering at a different contract, these hours are all from one contract, I've no idea where I am with them to be honest and when you ring the wages all you get is head honcho in there is on holiday so nothing they can do! I've never known a place collapse cause office manager takes a holiday!

Do you keep a record of the hours you are doing? Do these tally with the hours shown on your payslip? Is there someone you know who could look over your payslips and check that your employer is making the correct deductions? Maybe you could talk to your manager and tell him you are not happy - he may be able to put more pressure on the wages dept. to sort the matter out.

Do you have a smart phone? If you do there is a couple of great apps for working out tax, tax home etc.

If not, there might be a website equivalent, I'm not sure.

Sounds about right to me, assuming your tax allowance is all used up already on the main payment. Only you can say whether the gross amount properly reflects the hours you were owed, and obviously the bank will want the payee to be the same as the account name.

It is not allowed to alter cheques and initial them any more, a new cheque will be needed

Any pay should also come with a payslip advising you of deductions, are you getting one each time you are paid? Even the extra payment should be accompanied with a slip.

I am part of my companies payroll department, if we make a mistake and someone receives less we will make a fast payment so they are not short (even though we are paid fortnightly) if we do that we pay the gross amount, then on next payroll put it on as a deduction and tax it.

Do u know what system they use? If u have overpaid it should recalculate and u will get a refund. They will have deducted tax and ni so probably correct.

Well assuming you are a basic rate tax payer the tax will be 20% and the NI 12% therefore 32% of is £94. Therefore you should have been paid an extra £200 net.(I have ignored the pence)

On the face of it you have been over paid on the extra.

You would not normally get a new pay slip, unless there had redone your pay calculation, it would just get put through on the next pay run.

If you have already paid tax on what you have been paid, expect to lose 1/3rd of what you were short in tax and NI.

Thnks for all the replies.

I keep a record of all the hours I work, as soon as I saw my wages in the bank I knew where they'd gone wrong. So far I haven't even been able to get hold of my payslip, that's a problem that's been on going for some time and I'm stumped at how to sort that one out.
