When you stand by one of the trees in the Abandoned Old Workshop you seem to be able to hear a woman sort of chuckling to herself? It sort of goes "Hoo hoo hoo. Heh" on repeat. Is this an untriggered enemy in the vicinity? Exact location I'm hearing it on pic. It's really weird.

Location: England

My girlfriend has taken Voluntary Severance from an employer in England and there is a £30k tax free allowance for the Severance amount. The amount she was due to receive is a Severance payment and a Payment in Lieu of Notice (PILON). We know she gets taxed on the PILON, but she seems to have been taxed on the full amount.

Her employer is saying this is 'normal' and she can claim the tax back from HMRC next April. As in April 2027. Nothing she signed for her Voluntary Severance package mentioned this would happen. This seems to have happened to alot of people. HMRC guidance is that the "employer is responsible for making sure your termination is taxed correctly."

Is this correct? We don't trust her employer as far as we can throw them and they have form in screwing employees over.

TLDR: Girlfriend seems to have paid tax on the tax free allowed portion of a Severance payment. Her UK employer is saying this is normal and she can claim it back next tax year in April 2027.
