From your write up and looking for enemy where there's none, I can safely say you're incredibly arrogant You asked someone who was trying to show you your error to shut up? How classy of you And then you claim people hate you and back bite you in your office Kontunu ooo 1 Like |

cremedelacreme: Most companies if not every insists every avoidable mistake must be punished, it's not about legal or moral issues, what if the guy is sacked, do you think he has any "legal" case in court? The accounts may not be same bank and placing a lien on them may not be possible. The company can ask the staff to make refund for the excess while the short paid staff members will get additional payment. 1 Like |

Melahou: The OP said a cheque was forwarded with hardcopy. If a cheque is forwarded, it should be the instrument of payment and the bank has no right to debit the customer beyond the value of the cheque since the cheque no is the document no that will be quoted for the transaction. This is different from the direct debit scenario you described. |

BTT:U captured all I wanted to say. The OP, sisiedo obviously has serious issues with interpersonal relationships in the work place. She clearly dislikes most of her colleague (especially the power brokers) and the feeling seems to be mutual. I think she shud just take it easy and learn to work amicably with her colleague. She shud learn to make allowances for the peculiar behavior of other human beings around her and tolerate them. She shud concentrate on excelling in her job while being very polite and friendly with her colleagues. As for the issue on ground, she should humble herself before everyone and beg for leniency. 2 Likes |

The wording of your reply puts you at risk. A better reply would have been to apologise, that it was human error and promise it will never happen again. Like someone said send in another letter indicating you are sorry and it will never happen again. Do not accept responsiblilty for the consequence in writing |
Re: I Sent The Wrong Salary Schedule To The Bank by Nobody: 8:40pm On Dec 09, 2015 |
Sisiedo Pele o, But really, once you know you have "cabals" on your matter you shouldn't have signed to accept the responsibility. That's very grave o! Any responsibility meted out to you is deemed legal as you signed for it of your own free will. You should instead have asked for 24 - 48hrs to rectify the error and rush to the bank asap. The bank also has a share in the blame. They obviously didn't cross check so they should share the heat with you. That way before the with hunters come up with a cross, they have lost the case. I hope they don't even have more coming up for you depending on the size of their coven. |

xtervaganza:u are correct. The lady is very arrogant and incompetent. Rather than face and master her Job, she is busy looking for enemies where there is probably none. Everybody must not like u in the office. But the ability to look beyond that fact and still work with them as a team to achieve the best result for your company is the greatest selling point a career person will ever have. Trust me, I am talking from experience. I have been a continuous victim of serious job threatening slander and false accusations in my office. But I have learnt to look beyond all that and put in my best. Cos I know that as long as it remains just an accusation without any evidence, I cannot be sacked. U need to see me smiling and rapouring with the very clique behind all the slander. U will think I am either a very daft and blind man for me not to notice their hypocrisy, or simply too stu.pid to care. 2 Likes |

cremedelacreme: I second this comment...and with my little advise since u already knws the kind of environment u work in, especially with bosses who picks serious interest in your case per time then u shud av jst apologise for the gross error and devise fast means of correction which will involve the bank to help out too... truly u committed the error bt the acct officer also has a part to play too cos hardcopies were sent initially....in a nutshell in cases like dis requires remorseful apology and Immediate solution. All will be well! |

Ignorance in your line of duty is NEVER an excuse. What you did is a costly mistake. Since it was a network problem, you were supposed to have waited or to have consulted your superior before sending any msg through your personal phone. As someone who works in an accounts department or whatever, you ought to be very careful in handling any sensitive issue like yours whereby you have to do something to please others to your own detriment which is a costly mistake. You have no legal standee to defend yourself, rather to ask to be forgiven and NEVER to do such costly mistake again. The company may have lost some money in the process of this wrong information you must have sent to the bank. Your company should have written the bank immediately with a fellow up letter to rectify the mistakes and not to ask you to pay. |

In managing salaries, on monthly basis, except there are exits, additions you are likely to have the same amount. Not sure if you work in a wage-paying organisation. However, using your information, there would not have been significant difference. Again, perhaps your company uses a Community Bank. Any bank should have a tripartite or worse still a dual verification (Cheques or debit advise from Finance duly signed, Schedule of Employees with amount payable which total should tallying with the amount on the debit advice or cheque (obviously this is soft copy most-times), and/or a hard-copy of the staff schedule duly approved by relevant signatory for record purpose). With any varaition on either of these, the bank ought not to have released the credits (worse case is for your management to advice employees about this error). Now my advice are: i. Do not confront your management. If you are debited for the excess (if any), ensure the December schedule adjust for every over-payments. Again, I am wondering why there were no shortages (underpayments). Could it have been you overpaid only? ii. On receipt of the letter, reply to your HR and copying your Accountant and Auditor that you would expect the corrections to be made in December. Politely ask them to kindly confirm to you where the adjusted difference would be paid to other than to re-imbusrse you for the deficit you will suffer in November. This would definite cause them to do the right thing, as nobody wants a soiled career. iii. Your bank erred greatly in not checking the different transaction documents they received. On this note, it may be petinent to mention in your reply (again politely), that you suggest that the management meet with the bank to ensure better controls are in place to safeguard company funds. It was good that it is salaries, it could have other bigger payments and would be lost. iv. Your last paragraph on your reply to the query was very wrong, though written with good intention. Perhaps you answered in panicky mode or was angry. Next time, find an experienced and trusted friend to review your reply. In any case, you may also notify your employee relations officer (if your company has one) to help your persuade management to rescind their earlier decision. |

From your response to their query though you admitted your mistake but there was no sign of apology & promise that such will not repeat it self again in the content of your letter. A similar case happen to my Assistant in my place of work. Though we accepted the apology but there was still little condition attached that is he was not 100% free. This happen as a result of his interpersonal r/ship with other top management. Pls be always be humble to your superior & even among your colleagues it will not take anything from you 1 Like |

I bring words, not war. But if you want to focus on me other than your issue, you are barking the wrong tree. 1 Like |

In accounting every credit entry most have a corresponding debit. So therefore were did the debit entry come from. Professionally no bank will make that mistake.thank you |
Re: I Sent The Wrong Salary Schedule To The Bank by Sisiedo: 11:29pm On Dec 09, 2015 |
@ validated, thanks for your response and advise. I've been asked to bear the cost. I am not in finance dept neither am I in charge of preparing payroll. I am only responsible for sending duly completed soft copy passed to me to the bank. Yes, cheque advice was sent to the bank. The cheque, advice n d schedule have the same figure. Only the soft copy was different. It will surprise you to know that the bank involved is one of the leading banks in the country. Your advise to reply their letter is duly noted. Thank you very much. |
