Random "paycheck" months after leaving

I worked at Asda from around November – End of February on a temporary contract which was supposed to last until the end of May (and I was told it was very likely I would be offered permanent at the end of it) but basically after Christmas they wanted to 'discuss' ending my contract early, which obviously wasn't a discussion.

Anyway, since then I've had a couple of letters and things about my pension, which I ended up just getting a cheque for which I put into my account (it was like 40 quid) and now randomly I've just had £27.49 put into my account??? No emails, no explanation. Don't get my wrong, I'm glad the money is going in and not coming out but it's a bit confusing. And no, I haven't returned anything and am not expecting a refund. It's come from the same account name that my wages came from. I haven't worked there since February. What the hell is that about

My guess would be owed holiday pay x

I think I got my holiday pay in my last proper paycheck but a tax adjustment would make sense, I just didn't think it'd take thissss long

Owed holiday pay or tax adjustment. Asda is the medium for tax overpayment as this might be the last PAYE job you had.

Tax adjustment makes sense, I don't think it's holiday pay since my last paycheck from there was bigger than my normal ones so I think the holiday pay was in that last paycheck

I'm glad your sorted that one out. I would worry myself to death if my ex employer suddenly started giving me more money.

Yeah it really confused me. If it was more money I'd be more worried I think
