Dear colleague,
Our learned colleagues, in one breath, are urging your good sense to prevail and refund the excess amount to pay.
The ex- company has found the mistake in calculations after a lapse of one year and after closing f&f settlement, release letter.
The poster has raised very valid question of the principle as to justifiability of the delayed claim by the ex-employer after supposedly multiple checks before releasing payments, F&F and release letter.
If you turn this case on its head and think if similar mistake or blunder was committed by an employee, he would have been met with some punitive action.
Is it not double standards?
I am not suggesting what the poster should decide to do or not, but I do see valid point in his contentions.
I am raising only to debate the point that just as good sense is expected to be shown by the ex-employee , so also it equally applies to the ex- employer by way of reciprocation.
Either he let it go, write it off or apologize to the person.
Regards,
