I have changed jobs at the end of january.
i moved from one NHS trust to another different one.
i received my pay from my current workplace two days ago.
this morning i received exactly the same pay from my previous job!

a part of me wants to let them know they’ve made a mistake and return my (small) salary (AINBU)
another part of me think that perhaps no-one will notice and perhaps i could keep it???? (AIBU)

im thinking if they dont notice this month, they will notice next month and at some pount i will have to return it anyway….

@Bjorkdidit ooh i need to check i have a P60 now!!! I dont know if i will get one though as it is a transfer not really a new job.
@Squiggles23i was paid at the end of feb by both my previous and my current trust. End of march i only received payment from new trust as it should be…

If both trust paid you for the same pay period using your allocated tax code you will not have paid enough income tax as it will be classed as two jobs and one should have been taxed at BR. It might be wise to check with HMRC after the new financial year commences.
