Generally you only have a right to silence in self incrimination, just answering if the agreement was 24 or 42 likely wouldn't apply.

What you really do here is play it dumb as hell. Oh, I'm being over-payed? Really? Wow.

The key to keeping this up is not posting that you know about being over-payed and are doing nothing about it on the internet.

Well, nobody can force you to speak, that's something you'll have to do willingly. So IMO, the right to silence is one of the things that is universal to existence, regardless of law.

In a court of law, for sure. But for discussion between an employee and boss, I don't think that works the same way. I don't think your boss would have the right to compel speech out of you like that.

Unless it works differently in the UK?
