Man paid 330 times his monthly salary disappears with the money before company could get it back

An employee of an industrial company in Chile has started after the company wrongly paid him 330 times his salary.

The man, who is a staff member at the Consorcio Industrial de Alimentos company, was paid around £ 150,000 for one month’s work.

He should have been paid only about £ 450 for the month of June.

After receiving the money, rather than returning the co-payment to the company, he took the money and ran. He has not been seen or heard from since.

According to the local newspaper Diario Financiero, he did report the overpayment to his manager, who took it to HR.

Initially, when they told him to return the money, he agreed to do so.

He told them he would go to the bank the next day to start the recovery.

But when he got to the bank, he took the money and disappeared.

His employers tried to get him over the next three days, but what they got in return was a message from a lawyer offering his resignation.

A complaint was lodged with law enforcement officials accusing the man of misappropriating money, but no arrests were made because they could not get the man to do so.

The average household allowance of people in Chile is around £ 750 per month
