Is it employee responsibility to issue an invoices to the employee?
As an employee I was issuing invoices to my employer (under his instructions) and he was always checking them before sending to the accountant. There was a misunderstanding and miscalculation from both of us and the company overpaid me. Who is responsible for overpayment?

A Manager is a Manager, therefore he is accountable for his Employee's!
Answer 2 :
wellif you sent the invoice, it is standard practice that you raise a credit note for your error. as you said, it was a misunderstandng between the two of you .. therefore you are both responsible for the error strange way to do payroll .. strange
Answer 3 :
I think it is both you and your employer that are responsible. However, since you both know the over-payment was in error, return the overage to the company and it should be no big deal. Everybody makes mistakes.
Answer 4 :
Well, You made a mistake and your employer did not catch that mistake as his responsibility is to check the invoice. But it is the responsibility of that company as well to whom you were invoicing , they should check that what they were paying is the amount they agreed to pay.Just inform them about the overpayment and everything will be fine.
