In Switzerland a problem occurred with the payment of salaries. I know the details.
Thousands of municipal employees They received double their salary due to a computer error in Zurich, north of Swiss. The entity is contracted by the municipal government to pay salaries to workers. Zürcher Kantonalbank, Banco Cantonal de Zurich in Spanish, detected the problem.
Local media reported that they were more than 185 million dollars those who were transferred by mistake and assured that the failure arose in the software of a supplier of the telecommunications operator Swisscom.
Do municipal employees who were paid double by mistake have to return the money?
The more than 30 thousand employees affected They must return the money. “The employees of the city of Zurich are obliged to reimburse the amount,” stated a letter they received. And he continued: “The bank is working with the city of Zurich on a proposed solution for a simple refund of the amount paid twice.”
Although many of the workers took it with humor and understood that it was a computer problem, the bank created a internal crisis committee to recover the mistransferred money as soon as possible.
