DH has discovered that there was an error made in his travel allowance and highlighted it to his employer.
This may have been since 2012 but no one is sure when and how much just yet as there is little written down in a formal and exact way.
I have looked up the legal obligations and everywhere seems to say that we definitely owe it back but can pay in instalments if company agree (it is a season ticket cost so a few thousand - eek!) and we would need to as do not have the cash to hand at all right now.
However, it seems that that is the case in genuine overpayment of wages. Which, this isn't....it's a travel allowance. Does it fit under same rules?
We appreciate that we owe it, but just want to know how we stand legally so that we're in a better position to dictate repayment terms.
