The salary was wrong, but it took a week to find out the problem. Should I check with the finance department?

"People are not sages, to err is human." What would you do if the company's finance accidentally paid you the wrong salary? Recently, some netizens asked for help on social platforms: What should I do if my salary is higher? Wait online! Several figures revealed the happiness and panic of the netizen after the salary increase.

In the company, salary distribution is a complicated and error-prone thing, because the salary composition includes basic salary, performance salary, allowance, bonus and so on. And attendance, five insurances, one gold, one tax and many other factors need to be considered, and it is normal for the financial department to occasionally send the wrong salary.

If the salary is low, don't worry too much, report it directly to the finance or boss. Isn't working hard to make money? You deserve every penny of your salary. However, if the salary is increased, many people's first reaction is not to take the initiative to return, but to "pretend to be confused and understand" and remain silent. In fact, this practice is not correct.

Tips for friends Last May, my salary increased by 65,438+0,000 yuan. I knew there was a financial mistake, but I was short of money, so I kept this 1000 yuan for myself. A week later, the financial department found the mistake and asked the tip to return 1000 yuan, but the tip thought: since the salary has been paid to me, it is my money. If financial carelessness is wrong, I will bear the consequences myself.

But after knowing that the tip refused to refund the extra 1000 yuan, the boss gave him a profound ideological education. Subsequently, the story spread all over the company, and the tip was labeled as "love takes advantage", and it didn't take long for the tip to resign.

In fact, there is a factual act in law called "unjust enrichment". According to Article 92 of the General Principles of the Civil Law, "if there is no legal basis to obtain improper benefits and cause losses to others, the improper benefits obtained shall be returned to the person who suffered losses". The part with high salary is "unjust enrichment". As the beneficiary, the tip has the obligation to return the property to the victim, that is, the company.

So, in the case of increasing wages, what is the correct way to operate?

First, check. Everyone probably knows how much to pay a month. Once you find that your salary has suddenly increased, don't spend it in a hurry. Ask the financial department first, whether it is a salary increase or a bonus, or it is a mistake.

Second, the initiative to return. If it is a salary increase or bonus, you can rest assured; If the financial personnel make mistakes, they should be prepared to return them voluntarily. In this way, although the financial personnel will be punished, they will still appreciate you and properly handle the extra money.

No matter how much you earn, if you "hide and don't retreat", it's yourself. You know, mistakes will be found out sooner or later, and financial personnel will lose face and even be criticized by the boss when they come to ask for a refund of extra wages.

Last year, there was a wrong bonus in JD.COM, and the overpaid employee refused to return it. Liu was very angry and said bluntly, Being nice to my brothers doesn't mean tolerating me for taking money I shouldn't have!

In short, if the salary is wrong, we must take the initiative to correct it. Be aboveboard, not greedy for cheap, and strive for what you deserve; Don't get what you don't deserve.
