Human error exists everywhere though not an excuse but then.. We all do make mistakes, a letter of apology just like others have said will be fine and look up to God afterwards.
I've seen worst errors occurr, the heavens didn't fall bro.

Please if this is a joke stop the nonsense.. You made a very silly professional mistake..but all the same the management has no right to surcharge your account for any excess salary payment to the staff,what they can do is to inform the staff & deduct the difference in their next salary payment .. It is no big deal. Not a fraud but blatant human error. Please plead for leniency & advice as per this advise. Shalom.

The Bank should have discovered this. By now all these messed would have been avoided. The difference between the amount on the cheque and the schedule is just an unauthourise overdrawn amount from the company's account. Just negligence from the bank I conclude.

Well, first I would not blame you, its not as if it has happened before. Secondly, you shouldn't have taken responsibility for a technological fault, it could have been anyone for pete's sake! Like someone has said, wait for the letter, then write an apology letter(both handwritten and mail) and forward to everyone concerned. This could cost you your job on a normal day. Next time, be extra extra extra extra careful. I wish you come out of this unscathed.

Quite silly to post this here. If I am your boss, I will lay you off by text. Somethings are not meant to be shared in a forum. You are obviously a kid. Why on earth should you send such sensitive documents without verifying? You are too careless to be in a finance dept.

Look for a new job.

The responsibilties here, is for the embarrassment (as stated in their letter) my misrepresentation caused.




The full details of what happened was clearly stated and I accepted my fault.

I'd adhere to your advice and humble myself.

The letter have been served. I know they will not go back on their decision because my issue gives them sleepless night. They're are constantly on my case.


Thanks for your contribution. I feel a little better.
They should deduct from those over paid and credit those underpaid. Is that difficult? For those who may have left the company, the bank can be asked for a reversal. If you are responsible for preparing the payroll, this you can easily do right? More so I do not think you will have a lot of discrepancies for most of the staff.

Hello career Men and Women in the house. I seriously need your guide on this. Non career Men and women are also welcome provided you're vast in the area of administration.

Lawyers and Accountants in the house, you're welcome. Lalasticlala, Mr. Jarus please honour me with your time.

I created a new ID for this purpose not because I want to hide my identity from fellow forumite but from my siblings and a colleague and an ex-colleague who are aware of my membership and regular commenter here.

I work with a private company were corruption, back biting and witch hunting is the order of the day. Am not here to talk about the corruption aspect but the witch hunting and back biting. This happens if you don't belong to their clique.

If I told you I am angry and feel like exploding I won't be far from the truth.

Aside previous issues which I don't want to go into, it started towards the end of last month (November). I forwarded the soft copies of our salary schedule to the bank after the account department have gone to the bank with the cheque and hard copies for our November salary to be credited into our various accounts.

Over 24hours later, alert were not forth coming; of which payment due date was the same day the documents was sent to the bank. Our account officer was contacted and he said the bank was having network issues.


The next day, our accountant came to me and asked me to forward the soft copy to another receipiant saying the former receipiant was on leave. This I tried to do with the system but was unsuccessful due to bad network. Due to the urgency of the matter, I resorted to using my phone. I opened my sent folder and did the forwarding and it went on the first click.

I later left the office for breakfast. I was in the middle of it when my phones started buzzing. I was confused and alert on what could make 3different people be calling me at the same time. I decided to pick the most senior (position) persons own. He asked me to come to the office immediately that my immediate boss seeks my presence, this I oblige. I picked the next, she said same. I left my food for my colleague I went out with to bring it down to the office for me.

On getting to the office, I met the accountant at the entrance of my own office furious; she asked to know the month(salary) I forwarded to the bank. I don't understand I responded! Still furious, she told me I sent October instead of November. At this state I was confuse and was trying to confirm her assertion by checking my sent folder. She was still vibrating and saying all manners of things I can't remember. I kept her quite because I don't want to involve her in a show of shame and secondly she have a speech defect (stammerer). It got to a point her presence beside me and her noise became irritating. I shut her up; asking her to stop raising her voice on me and that I am not a kid. This actually worked because she kept quite and left for her office.

I was able to access my sent folder after countless refresh. Behold, it was actually October I sent cry. The head of management requested I print both October and November schedule for him. This I did. Maybe they went to the bank with it, I don't know.

A circular was released informing staff that a mistake was made in the schedule sent to the bank and will be rectified in December salary were credit or debit should be expected.

Minutes later, I was issued a query. Worthy of mention is that "I sent October salary schedule instead of November to the bank thereby causing embarrassment to staff and management and that I should explain why disciplinary action should not be taken against me for the serious mistake"

I replied thus "that I had diffulties using the system due to bad network and had to use my phone to forward the mail. Unknown to me that october schedule was the last item on the sent folder and I forwarded same without refreshing. And that I acknowledge my mistake and take responsibilities for the EMBARRASMENT my action has caused"

Just yesterday, the accountant called me asking if I have received a letter from my immediate boss, I told her no. She said OK and that I should expect one. And that I was being asked to pay for the over credit some staff got. She added that the head of management insisted on it even after she and my immediate boss kicked against it (washy).


Though am still expecting the letter, I was able to get access to my file and the comment reads "she take responsibilities for (as indicated in her last paragraph) so be it!

Hmmmmm, now, ladies and gentlemen, please analyse and tell me how to react upon receiving the letter.

Is their decision legal and morally right?

What action should I take.

Thanks for taking your time to read the long epistle. I await your comments and directions.
u can't pay for the over credit.it has happened in my office and it was from a senior accountant with rank close to a director.drivers were paid salaries of directors and vice versa.some people were quick to withdraw all the amount from their account but the management subsequently took it from their subsequent salaries.
I never heard of any queries with respect to the anomaly

This shouldn't be a problem. Several times I have been paid wrong salary either by the bank or my employer. All they do is reverse and post the correct salary.

No big deal at all.
Re: I Sent The Wrong Salary Schedule To The Bank by Nobody: 5:26pm On Dec 09, 2015
1. Your action was irresponsible and it was good you received query. No one is above mistake.

2. The bank / banker too was incompetent, It is the duty of a banker to properly sort out every inconsistency in a transaction/s.

3. It would not cost your company anything to forward a circular to everyone involved, either overpaid or underpaid. Credit or Debit can be done at a later date. It would be highly unfair for you to take the loss alone.

4. My advice, write a strong letter of apology to your boss.

Since this is your first time making this particular mistake and you have taken responsibly for the mistake, a query is good enough.

Next time you should be fired.

Negligence from the bank transferring money from the cheque that is not in correlation with a schedule forwarded to them. Which bank be that sef?

truth is u r too arrogant. i arrived at this conclusion based solely on your own part of the story despite all your effort to water down your arrogance.

from your story, you sound like one of these staff that are fond of have an affair with their bosses which often gives them a false air of invincibility - which more often than not is only a balloon that can be deflated any time with a stroke of the pen which normally translates to a sack!

i can also deduce that the organization u work with is a hotel - and you probably work in the accounts department. and as the basic rule in all accounts department, CAREFULNESS IS THE WATCH WORD NO MATTER THE STRESS - ZERO ERROR OR YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR STUPIDITY.

I will advice you to wait for the letter and pray that it wont be damaging not just to your pocket but to your career.

finally, no matter the content of the letter, humble yourself and be apologetic and beg whoever you are supposed to beg, from the GM down to the Auditors and the the HR manager. BE VERY APOLOGETIC AND EXPLAIN THAT YOU WHERE JUST ANXIOUS TO MEET UP WITH THE SALARY SCHEDULES.

WHATEVER YOU DO, REMEMBER, THIS IS DECEMBER, DON'T START JANUARY BY BEING JOBLESS.

U have part of the fault and its a good thing you owned up to your fault. The honest truth is that you had the duty of care to ensure what you sent to the bank was correct. However, you should not be asked to repay the excess credit members of staff who are still there and working got. To me that bothers on high levels of poor judgement and trust me it might not be long before this company folds up. Considering the thought processes that would have gone into making a decision this callous and stupid. The straightforward resolution is to have the staff refund the excess they received or have it deducted from their subsequent salaries. I think u need to look for another job. U mention corruption n all, sooner than later, the company is going down.

Next time just apologise sincerely for your error and promise to guide against reoccurrence.
.......

It looks like the salary schedule of October and November had the same ground total, otherwise I don't see how the bank would have been able to process it. The cheque must match with the total amount on salary schedule.

Op. You are very funny. The content of the post is enough to reveal your identity to whom ever you are hiding it from. Get that right.

From your post it shows you don't think deeply before doing things not only because of your error at work but also with what I mentioned above.

Write an apology letter and be careful next time when handling any issue no matter how small it is. Never rush to act or make a decision. It could be costly.

Your office has no right to make you pay for differences in funds. What is required is to deduct from those who has excess and credit those who had deficit in payment.

I know you have learnt your lesson and if you have not then you are sitting on a long thing. Good luck.

@sisiedo i acknowledge the fact that you made a costly mistake, it can happen and it has happened. What you need to do move on and learn from it.

While it is also commendable that you admit your guilt you must also understand the matter won't just go like that,you would still be talking point so don't let that bother you too much.

Lastly in knowing what your response should be in terms of the last note from your boss,you need to summarise what it says for us to better advise you.

Whatever you do, do not loose your cool, keep apologising if it's required and wind shall surely blow past it.

Though, I'm not disputing the fact that you made a costly mistake, the bank should also share in the blame. They acted irresponsibly. The bank ought to have called your superiors to confirm the payment. I'm a schedule officer too and that's how things are done.

The Bank as failed to the purpose of reconciliation... Even doh the soft copy of the company mandate is to upload and post staff salary... They should have confirmed the Total amount scheduled and most at least tally with what was on hardcopy... Also did guy needs to be fired without fail.. How on earth would you use your mobile to forward a mail without confirming or doing some little adjustment... You promised your employer that you can deliver under pressure..are you a drunker were you high..on the Job? Thank God you didn't mention the name of the Bank.
