The Telegraph newspaper reported in January 2014 about a doctor at Barts Hospital in London who had erroneously received a “banding supplement” of £4,000 per month for on-call duties. This went on for more than two-and-a-half years, with the incorrect payments totalling £126,000. Overpayments of wages can occur in a variety of ways, including genuine payroll errors and miscalculation of commission/bonus schemes. According to the report, the £126,000 mistake (which was the most expensive of many) was to be resolved by the doctor paying it back at £500 per month. That would take over 21 years. While overpayments of wages can and do occur (as seen above), where you’ve been injured and are off your work as a result, you’re much more likely to be experiencing an underpayment of wages. The negative financial consequences of being injured in an accident can be significant. What steps can you take to make sure you maximise your income in the aftermath of an accident which leaves you Continue Reading
The Most Popular Personal Injury Articles On The Moray Claims Website In 2016
In 1985, in Camden, London, a graffiti artist known as “King Robbo” spray-painted his name – in yellow, red and black – on a tunnel wall. Photographed in 2006, it can be seen that Robbo’s original had gradually faded to form the background of other graffiti scrawled on top. The well-known, though anonymous, street artist, Banksy, enters the story in 2009. He partially obliterated Robbo’s wall with an image of a workman “wallpapering” over the graffiti in plain grey. Only the “bo” of “Robbo” remained visible. Robbo’s retaliation – on Christmas Day 2009 – was to complete the greywash of his original image. Leaving Banksy’s image of the workman, with his can and paint brush, in place, Robbo added the words “KING ROBBO”, making it appear that the workman had put them there. As the dispute moved into 2010, Banksy heated things up with his reply - adding “FUC” in front of “KING”. With hindsight, it was almost as if Robbo had invited that addition. Robbo seems to have edited it Continue Reading
How often to remind Your Personal Injury Solicitor about Your Case
One of my favourite “job interview” jokes features in various memes on the internet. HR Manager: "What is your greatest weakness?" Interviewee : "Honesty." HR Manager: "I don't think honesty is a weakness." Interviewee : "I don't really give a *!@# what you think." Of course, interviews are intense, stressful experiences where it seems so much can go wrong, including being "too honest". But what if the thing that goes wrong is that you don’t even make it to the interview? What if you make a mistake with the date? It’s not hard to find this sort of "date error" experience reported on the internet. “I’ve just come back from my interview at X, which I went to a week early, and took a day off college for.” “If a candidate turned up a whole week early for an interview, how badly would it affect their chances in your eyes?” “I'm mortified. I must have misread their email. Do I still have a chance of getting the job?” “Well, better a week early than a week Continue Reading
How Nervous Shock Claims depend on whether you are a Primary or Secondary Victim
Primary colours are colours in their own right. They cannot be created through the mixing of other colours. The 3 primary colours are red, yellow and blue. If you mix primary colours together, you get secondary colours. Combining them in pairs gives you green, purple and orange. You can view the primary colours as sitting in the middle and forming the root of the colour system, with all other colours further out, like ripples on a pond spreading out from the centre. Primary colours are the most important and secondary colours are subsidiary. “Primary” and “Secondary” are terms used by lawyers to describe victims in relation to compensation claims for nervous shock. The same sort of explanation for the difference between them works here too. In terms of space and time, primary victims will have played a more significant role in the “events” than secondary victims. They take centre stage whereas a secondary victim is in more of a supporting role, towards the wings. The term Continue Reading
