Q: Is there a place on the site where you have sample letters and documents for employers to edit and use? For example an overpayment letter.

A: In the members only area there is a section on Payroll Forms (see below) but it does not have an overpayment letter:

What should be included in this type of letter:

  • Details on the overpayment that has happened (amount, date paid, and why is an overpayment)
  • Reference back to a deduction clause in the employee employment agreement or letter that the employee has consented to have a deduction from paid
  • Inform them of the amount of the overpayment and the date it will be deducted from their pay.

This sits under the Wages Protection Act so even if you have consent from the employee they can redraw their consent.
