I am presently on maternity leave. I have taken my paid mat leave and am currently on my unpaid leave.
I have been receiving my mat benefit and have been topped up by my employer.
Today i got a phone call from the finance dept at work to say that they never deducted the state benefit from my basic salary and that i have to pay them back. they finally agreed that i could pay them back 500 euro/month for 10 months.
am really annoyed as this is their fault and not mine. we have our house up for sale at the moment and i have to start paying a childminder as well as a current mortgage.
another problem i have is that i was going to hand my notice in when i got back to work and get a job closer to home. am i tied to this company now???
