Default Re: Salary Overpayment.. Can They Do This??

@ Ruffy..... we weren`t informed of this until 5pm tonight when the letters were given out. Collectively we`re in 2 unions, either the RCN or Unison, we`ll contact the relevant people tomorrow. One of my queries is, as you say, we have paid tax and N.I. on this overpayment so where do we stand with this.

@ Simesb.. I`m not 100% sure about the ESR, would have to find out and I hadn`t thought about staff turnover, thats one other thing i`ll put to them. It is relatively small amounts spread over 4 years but in my clinic alone there are 30 District Nurses and there are around 30 clinics within the PCT so that adds up to a nice sum for them to recover. We also have evening staff and night staff who due to the hours could potentially end up paying one hell of a lot of money back... as bad as it is for us on days my heart really goes out to the night staff.

@ Lily.... I can`t see anything at all in the contract about overpayment. I`ll see what the union say tomor and if needs be we can speak to someone at the CAB.


Many thanks for your help guys... a couple of pointers there for me to add to the email we`ll be sending collectively.
