Help please.
I have an employee who handed in his resignation but the 4 days later left and didn't return. It states in his contract that he was to give 1 months notice in writing, so he has fallen very short on this.
We pay employees on a monthly basis (2wks in arrears and 2wks in advance). Unfortunately, when we received his resignation the pays had already been processed and he was paid for the entire month.
Are we legally able to make the employee return this money to the company, as he owes us 3 and a bit weeks in lieu of notice and he only had approx 57hrs of annual leave owing to him at the time of termination?
Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
