Wage Overpayment Dispute Response — Answer an Employer Clawback
Has your employer told you that you were overpaid and now wants the money back — by taking it out of your pay or demanding you repay it? For $49 we draft a firm, measured letter back to them, built from your answers. Without admitting there was any overpayment, it asks the employer to substantiate the claim (how it arose, the exact amount, the calculation and the pay periods), states that you do not authorise any deduction from your wages, and offers to discuss a reasonable arrangement only if an overpayment is actually established. You download it straight away and send it yourself.

What we'll ask you
Plain-English questions, one at a time. No legal knowledge needed — if you don't know an answer exactly, your best estimate is fine.
- How is your employer trying to get the alleged overpayment back?
- What is the name of your employer (the company or business) — the name the letter should be addressed to?
- Who is handling this for the employer — payroll, HR or your manager? Give their name and title if you know it. Leave this if you are not sure.optional
- What is your role or job title, and roughly how long have you worked there?
- How much does your employer say you were overpaid in total?
- What does your employer say caused the overpayment, and over what period? Use their explanation if they gave one — for example a payroll error, the wrong pay rate, overpaid leave, or a system mistake over several pay runs.
- Do you accept that you were actually overpaid?
- If there was an overpayment, had you already received and spent it in good faith — believing it was your correct pay? This can matter, so say briefly if it applies. You can skip this.optional
- IF an overpayment is properly established, could you repay it, and over what period would be reasonable for you? This lets the letter offer to discuss an arrangement — without admitting there was an overpayment. Skip it if you would rather not propose anything yet.optional
- Has your employer already deducted anything, or put the demand in writing? If so, say briefly when and what. Skip if not.optional
