hi all,
I am looking for some input or looking for anyone that can point me in the right direction.....
In 2007 myself and a work colleague were tasked to take people from work out along with clients, there was about 20 people in total. During the course of the night we spent a fair bit on food and drink,
I had been given £800, Receipts were submitted and everything was above board (the 2 owners of the company were with us).
The company since then has since been sold off to a multi national bunch of beggars and thieves.
I left in February, all the guys I worked with were made redundant last month and The company is in severe financial difficulty now.
I got a call today questioning this night out from HR and accounts and they are wanting me to repay this money as they cannot find any reference to it being authorised. Now since that night the company was bought over and every year they audited the books so why 8years down the line are they bringing it up now!!. I told them if they want the money to go get a lawyer.
I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this, is there a maximum period they can try and claim money back etc??
