Payroll Query
Posted: March 28th, 2017, 6:07 am
Hi; longtime Fool poster but firsttime Lemon.
I'm new to running a business; been running about a year. One of my new employees gave me the wrong bank details so her pay went into a different account. The bank aren't being terribly helpful and it is doubtful I'll get the money back at this point. She hadn't been working that long, not even a full pay period so it's not a huge amount; about 500 quid. She acknowledges that it is her mistake.
I'm inclined to just pay her again for the goodwill factor in view of the relatively small amount of money involved. What would others do?
