If they caught the error, you probably do have to pay them back. However, since you had no idea that the check was a mistake, you should be able to work out some kind of payment plan to pay back the amount you already spent. Just make sure that they understand that you had no idea you weren't supposed to be getting that check. Ex-employers can get downright ruthless when they're trying to recover funds they paid in error. They could very well take you to court. I mean, you'd have a strong case against them, but it would be a lot of hassle having to get a lawyer and take time off for hearings, just for a rather small amount of money. Just pay them back however quickly you can and be done with them- they sound like horrible people! |

Yes, unfortunately you do have to return it, and if you don't do it soon, I would be worried that they can add interest or fines to it. I think they would harp on the fact that you weren't informed or otherwise made aware that you were getting a bonus, so thus should not have assumed it was yours. I know it's not nice and not what you want to hear but I don't think you have much of a case. Try to see if you can talk to someone in HR in person or on the phone, tell them what happened, and ask if you can pay it back in partial payments, so that they won't go after you with a lawyer. |

It was probably an accident that you recieved it. Talk with your ex-employer to get it all sorted out. They can take action, trust me on that. |

They most certainly can sue you for it. There is no bargaining. They paid you for work that you didn't do and it wasn't a bonus. |

Yes, you do have to return it. They can sue you for the money because you have nothing to show that you worked for it because.......you didn't work for it. Even if you didn't have to, would you feel right taking money that you didn't earn anyway? |

I suggest you speak with the HR department regarding pay for the extra days you worked. Take your normal monthly pay divided by the number of working days in the month times the number of days you worked and explain that you feel you are owed this much. Return the rest. |

If you were paid in error, the money does not belong to you and should be returned to your former employer. |

Return the whole thing ASAP. The same thing happened to a friend who thought he could keep it just because it was the company's mistake. NOT..........they can cause a lot of trouble for you like reporting you to the credit bureau. You don't want that kind of information in your employee file, it will follow you for a long time. Just bite the bullet and pay it, you will be much better off. |

Call them and tell them your going to a lawyer, then ask for the public defender to Analise the situation.
You may get some of it, but chances are they will get it all back.
But, let them know your not just sitting on it waiting for the door bell to ring. Tell them what's going on.............. |
