A QUERY

[rayb]

Hi,

My employer had been paying me the wrong amount salary wise each month since I started i.e only paying me 37.5 hours when I do 40 hours however this has now been rectified. My problem is when they have paid me the additional money back they have put it down on my wage slip as overtime when clearly it is not. My dilemma is when I come to my review my IP is likely to want a chunk of it and I do not think I should have to as my I & E has obviously increased.

I have now discussed this with my IP as they are Blair Endersby and they already hiked my money up last review.

Your advice as always dear people would be much appreciated.

Kind regards

Ray

Sorry I meant I have not discussed it with my IP yet

Perhaps if you write to your IP with a letter from your employer explaining?

When you took out your IVA was your employer underpaying you then or has it happened since you were in your iva?

ie does BE has your incoming salary as what it is or what it should be?

Does that make sense?

I suspect that if they have had your salary as what it should be then there is the argument that you have been managing on a reduced income therefore that money coming to you is yours but if they had it as what it is then you may have to give half of it to them? Depending on your overtime clause if you have one.

Might be an idea to keep it separate until you get confirmation from BE and see what some of the experts say as I'm not one!

It does depend upon what figure your IVA was based upon. If there was an error either on your part or the IP's then the money is technically payable in full to the Supervisor, but do speak to your IP for direct clarification on this point.
