A worker in Chile submitted
his resignation and could not be found after his job accidentally paid him
about 330 times his salary because of a payroll error, according to reports.
The worker, a dispatch
assistant at cold meats manufacturer Consorcio Industrial de Alimentos,
received a paycheck of 165,398,851 Chilean pesos, or $180,418, for the month of
May. He was only supposed to be paid about 500,000 Chilean pesos, or $545.
The worker initially alerted
his manager of the massive overpayment, according to local media outlet Diario
Financiero.
The manager would then
report the issue to human resources, who asked the worker to go to his bank and
return the extra money.
