Oh yeah!! No chance your employer will catch this.
quote:

Whiddon was hired in August as a manager in training at a salary of $550 a week, but he was later demoted to a regular employee. However, he continued to clock in under “person in charge” and the system paid him $550 an hour.

quote:

Checks as high as $15,673 were discovered, according to court records, but he never disclosed the over payment. In the seven months he worked at the shop, Whiddon took home $68,869, more than five times the federal individual poverty level of $12,140.

Holy crap!!! Pretty sorry too that it took so long to be noticed by management.

Here’s the icing on the cake.
quote:

The manager of the store agreed not to press criminal charges if Whiddon paid half of the money back. When questioned, however, he said he had already spent the money and was unable to make payments.



What a fricking dumbass!!

The six months part isn’t in the story but was reported that way on local radio.

that means he worked less than 5 hours a week.


When you are making 550 an hour you don't have to burn the candle at both ends

We had a payroll clerk that accidentally entered a $1.00 raise as $10.00 raise. When I caught the error months later and brought it the employees attention he quit. Legal Dept said we had to eat the overpayment.

Sounds like someone in payroll should go to jail with him. There is no way nobody didn't notice this for 6 months.

Yeah, something is not adding up here.

$550/Hr. x 40 Hr/Wk = $22,000

$22,000 x 52 weeks in a year = $1,144,000.

No one outside of upper management or someone that owns many locations is bringing home anywhere near that amount.

He could have invested it, then been able to pay back the error and keep the interest.
People are stupid

This happened at my old company. Some lady at the factory was making $75/hr instead of $7.50. It was a simple decimal error.

It went on for 6 months. She was fired but not asked to pay anything back. Apparently an attorney she retained immediately afterwards said the right things.

Her supervisors said she was a model employee during that time. Always punctual and productive, and eager to work OT.
I think she scammed somewhere in the neighborhood of $60K during that time.

No, he was supposed to make 550 a week during training, but due to a computer error it had him making $550 per hour.



Why is an employee responsible for clerical errors anyway? You are responsible for seeing where your money goes

It’s $550 a week salary for the manager/ not hourly. It only got moved to hourly when he started clocking in as a wage employee after the demotion. Like the system got confused or something.

How is it a scam? The company has no loyalty to you. They will throw you under the bus at a moment’s notice if it benefits them. If the screwup wasn’t intentional, then it falls on the employer.

I hear ya. Especially considering the town and situation that factory was in. Everyone outside of HR and management thought "good for her."

They would have your job advertised before an obituary came out that's for sure.
