In the event that they do require the employee to pay it all back, what I would have done was try to make the original wage work on the budget and stash the other £18k into low risk index funds to get some dividends and increased return. That way if paying it back were necessary, you'd at least make some money from the excess capital.
If the paperwork says £42k then not much the company could possibly argue.
True. Legally binding contacts definitely supersede their vocal claims to the contrary.
Thats the part where an employee should do what employers do all day every day like breathing: lie your ass off.
"I recall the verbal agreement being for 42k, just as it is in the contract."
