Digsy Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 You decide. I got overpaid £155 in December through a 100% un-tracable clerical error (won't go into details). Anyway, I owned up to it. Am I a mug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilg Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Definatly sound, i take loads of stick for being honest, even for stupid things like getting over changed at a bar and handing it back. Honesty is always the best policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon F Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I was paid twice at the end of December, but it was easily traceable, so I was spared any moral dilemma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Very honest, well done! I got paid my shift bonus twice in Oct / Nov but owned up to it because they'd only find out eventually and I'd be in the s**t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toytown Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Well done m8, if they are straight with you then you did the right thing. i have had one cracker that might bring a smile to some faces (YES I was dishonest) When i was elec contracting, one of my big customers screwed me for £600, blaming 2 of my lads for doing "damage" (completely untrue - i was there !). I took it like a man 2 months or so later, they made a clerical error & paid me twice on a £1350 job ....... NO i said nothing & took it as a gift from above for their greed (and the lads got a crackin christmas party that year ) Basically I'm honest but just this once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Awwww Actually I'm the same. Although I don't think I'd even notice if I was overpaid by that amount to be honest! I used to work in an off licence and some chick there was getting paid in cash (through teh books but it was an option) but they were also paying her BACS too! She didn't say a word and denied all knowledge, apparently she's so overdrawn she didn't realise. Come on! She must have taken home at least £500 a month, after a few months theres no way you could not notice your balance looking healthier!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I'd have done the same. I even questioned Chris when he neglected to charge me for labour (unfortunately for me it was a mistake and he hadn't meant to do it for free ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
