<p>An engineer has repaid £2 million mistakenly paid to him by his employer.</p>
<p>The employee opened his pay slip to find bosses had given him the sum reported to be 1,000 times his normal salary of £2,000.</p>
<p>Bosses at Alcoa Howmet, in Exeter, Devon, admitted they paid a worker a &#8220;significant&#8221; sum last week following an error.</p>
<p>The mystery worker is said to have been stunned at the massive windfall. But, the engineer &#8211; who makes turbine blades &#8211; immediately told bosses he would return the money.</p>
<p>Alcoa spokesman Jasper Van Zon would not confirm the exact amount involved, but the sum is reported to be £2 million.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;The amount of money is a matter between us and the employee. I can say the sum of money involved was a significant amount.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are very happy that the employee acted so quickly, that the person acted in such an honest way. It showed a lot of integrity.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a very good thing to see when an employee reports this kind of mistake so quickly. It is a good example of the quality of people we have at our company.</p>
<p>He added although they are very happy with the employee&#8217;s behaviour the matter was being taken seriously and they would be investigating the matter.</p>
<p>The company believes the overpayment would have been traced within days and the employee would have been asked to repay the money if he had not done so voluntarily.</p>
