Mistakes are made even in payroll. And not always downwards... Although most of the time the surplus is refunded, in the case of a Chilean man it seemed that the saying "after being removed from the fund, no mistake is recognized."
The Chilean man was surprised to see in his bank account his salary multiplied by... 286 times over. You understand. So instead of paying him one salary, he was paid... 286 salaries.
When the accounting department realized this, they informed him to return the 285 salaries and he even seemed to promise his employer to return them, however, he not only got up and left the job but... disappeared.
The mistake... in numbers
Let's see it in numbers: His company paid him approximately 165,398,851 Chilean pesos instead of 500,000 pesos. Of course to understand, in euro equivalent, the amounts are not large, but negligible, however for the cost of living in Chile they are large, as much as to take it and disappear.
The management of the company has not been able - despite many attempts - to contact the (former) employee again, while they sent him dozens of messages on WhatsApp.
The company is now trying to get its money back through legal channels.
According to Take-Profit.org, the Chilean minimum wage is $434 US or 415 euros.
