I think in some cases you could get fucked if it can be shown that it's an obvious mistake

I mean, if you switch this around so it's the business paying less then people here would be going irate if the business just said "well we are paying what the contract states". I get it, people hate work. But that doesn't mean you get to screw your employer.

It says it right there in the contract. If you sign shit without reading it as the employer, and have been paying it for 9 months, that's on you.

It would be another thing if it was immediately fixed but in either case, be it the employee or employer, if you've been doing it 9 months then that's on you. (If an employee had been getting underpaid - but still a legal amount - and didn't say anything for 9 months, I also think that's on them). Gotta read contracts folks.
