I write to clarify some points concerning the article regarding overpayments made to some City of York Council staff (58 council staff keep error cash, The Press, April 20).
No staff have, or will be, allowed to keep the allowance they have been overpaid. The council will recover the overpayments made during the transition between the old and new pay arrangements, and is working closely with staff to ensure that this is done as quickly as is reasonable.
