Over paid
please help to settle an argument I had with a friend - (these are all hypothetical)
1. If an employer overpays a employee, does the employee have a legal responsibility to tell the employer?
2. If the employee doesn't tell the employer, can the employer take back the money without discussing it with the employee?
3. If the employee doesent tell the employer that they've been overpaid, and the employer doesn't realise. How long is it before the money belongs to the employee and the employer can't ask for it back?
TIA
