Just imagine a scenario where you’re going about your day and you receive a notification on your phone. Now, when you check what it is, the notification says that the company you’re working at has transferred lacks or rather crores worth of salary to your account.
Sure, you’re shocked, you go through the ‘zeros’ again and again and it says what you read. What would you do next? Well, a Chilean employee decided to disappear from the face of the earth – and we don’t blame him.
Chilean company transfers 286 times an employee’s salary.
An employee was mistakingly paid 286 times his salary last month. Now after this instance took place, the employee resigned from the company and disappeared after promising his employer that he would return the amount that was paid in excess.
This entire episode took place in the human resources area of the Food Industrial Consortium (Cial). This is a company that has under its control important Chilean brands such as San Jorge, La Preferida and Winter.
It is the largest company of cecinas (a type of dehydrated meat of Spanish origin) in Chile.
While the company was generally transferring salaries to the employees, there was an error which caused such a massive error. The company accidentally paid the employee 165,398,851 Chilean pesos (Rs 1.42 crore), instead of the 500,000 pesos (Rs 43,000) he was entitled to, according to local media.
