Employer overpaid massively

Hi all.
Partner has woken up this morning to discover he has been paid thousands more than he should have. Usually before deductions he is paid 2.3k but they've actually paid 31k today.
We usually receive a bit of universal credit, how on earth do we go about explaining this is a major cock up? He is going to work this morning to try and find out what has happened and will obviously have to give it back one way or another but this is going to wipe out the usual uc so how would we explain this?

This happened to me and they also made me pay back the extra tax, NI and pension conts they'd overpaid 😒

Still paying it back now as they wouldn't just accept the amount I'd been overpaid. Yes it's very unfair but they are in control of my pay so i didn't actually have a choice and they said I'd pay less tax as I paid it back.

That’s not correct. They can’t take more than you received.
