My friend was told that she had been overpaid for the last 9 (!) months. A genuine error had occurred in HR. They now require her to pay back the money, which is of considerable amount, and which puts her under financial pressure. Is there any legislation that would protect her from having to repay the money? She was no aware of being overpaid. This is in the public sector by the way.
Any help greatly appreciated.
