Hi guys
I have recently taken up a job a part time bookeeper in my brother in law's small hotel. I was looking through the payroll records and it turns out that he has been over-paying two employees for the past few years.
Basically these 2 employees, good workers according to him, have been paid €18 per hour net of tax whereas they should have been paid €18 per hour gross. It's cost him approximately €120 extra per week per employee for the past 3.5 years as he was paying their tax for them!
Obviously it's completely his mistake, he foolishly didn't pay enough attention to the wages (hence the need for a bookeeper, I suppose). But he's now wondering how to address the situation.
I told him he needs to reduce them to €18 per hour gross. Presumably this won't be a problem. I'm wondering could he go about trying to some of the money back from them? Unlikely, I suppouse given there is no work contract in place.
All advice greatly appreciated.
